Sago starch is flour derived from the trunk of the sago palm tree. As a gluten-free flour alternative, sago flour is increasingly popular due to its smooth texture and health benefits when consumed appropriately. Sago flour can be used as an ingredient for making keropok lekor.

Keropok Lekor a traditional Malay snack in the form of fish crackers typical of Terengganu, Malaysia, which are made from a mixture of fish (such as selayang or parang) and sago flour.

Sago: A Promising Carbohydrate Alternative from the Tropical Ecosystem

Sago is widely recognized as a natural source of carbohydrates derived from palm species, particularly those within the Metroxylon genus. This plant thrives in tropical climates, especially in water-abundant environments such as swamps and riverbanks.

In Indonesia, sago ranks among the important starch-producing crops, following cassava, sweet potato, and maize in terms of significance and economic value.

The development of sago cultivation in Indonesia is aimed not only at strengthening local food security but also at strategically harnessing the nation’s natural resource potential. For communities in eastern Indonesia, particularly in Papua, sago has long served as a staple food. Over time, its utilization has expanded into the food industry, where it is considered comparable to rice flour, wheat flour, and tapioca due to its high carbohydrate content and versatility in food processing.

Sago flour is commonly processed into a wide range of culinary products, including cakes, noodles, biscuits, and bread. Its high starch content makes it a viable substitute for conventional flours. Beyond its nutritional and industrial applications, sago cultivation offers economic benefits while simultaneously supporting environmental sustainability.

When properly managed, sago plantations are capable of producing approximately 20–40 tons of starch per hectare annually—figures comparable to sugarcane productivity and significantly exceeding the average yields of cassava and potatoes, which typically range from 10–15 tons per hectare.
