Simple Sweetened Sago with Sultanas
Sago is a common gluten-free staple in S. E. Asia and is produced from the pith of the Metroxylon sagu palm. It is high in tannins and flavonoids that function as antioxidants and resistant starch which is not broken down by digestion, but serves to feed gut bacteria in the colon and is considered a prebiotic. It has been shown to increase short chain fatty acids in the gut, reduce insulin resistance and inflammation.
The minimal processing of coconut nectar sugar means that it retains minerals, polyphenolic antioxidants and inulin from the coconut palm. It is this inulin which may slow glucose absorption resulting in coconut nectar sugar having a lower GI than cane sugar.
Our Australian organic sultanas are deliciously sweet, high in fibre, potassium and polyphenol antioxidants. They also add valuable micronutrients to the dish.
