Sabudana made from which plant

Sabudana is made from the starch of Cassava tuber. This starch is commonly known as Tapioca.

Raw fresh Cassava tuber consist of around 25-30% starch, 10% fibre and the rest is water.

Sabudana is made from this starch.

Here is a brief about the manufacturing process:

• Cassava tuber is harvested from farms and brought to the factory
• The cassava tuber is cleaned to removed any mud from farms and other dirt (there is a dry wash and wet wash process)
• The skin of the cassava is peeled
• Then the cassava is crushed with water to convert it into a liquid form (milk like liquid)
• This liquid now contains starch, fibre and water
• The fibre is then separated from the starch
• The starch is then made into small balls (the shape of sabudana)
• These sabudana balls are roasted in a hot pan where it gelatines and becomes soft and gooey
• The sabudana is then dried to remove excess moisture
• During the roasting process, sabudana balls stick to each other and thus after drying the stuck sabudana balls are separated into individual balls.
