About Mango sago

Mango Sago is a refreshing dessert originating from South Asia and Southeast Asia, particularly popular in Chinese and Filipino cuisines. It is made by combining mango puree or chunks with sago pearls (a type of starchy tapioca), often sweetened with condensed milk, coconut milk, or fresh cream. Mangoes, the star ingredient, are rich in vitamin C and dietary fiber, while sago contributes digestible carbohydrates. This dessert is moderately caloric, with its nutritional profile primarily consisting of simple carbohydrates, limited fats, and essential vitamins from mangoes.

Health Benefits

• Rich in vitamin C from mangoes, which supports immune function and skin health.

Dietary Considerations

Allergens: Contains dairy (if using milk or cream), coconut (if using coconut milk)

Not suitable for: Vegan diets (if made with condensed milk), dairy-free diets (if made with cream or milk)

Selection and Storage

What is the nutritional content of Mango Sago?

Mango Sago typically contains around 200-250 calories per serving, depending on the recipe. It is low in protein, providing less than 2 grams per serving, but is rich in carbohydrates due to the mango and tapioca pearls. Mangoes are also a good source of vitamins A and C, as well as small amounts of folate and fiber.

Is Mango Sago suitable for a vegan diet?

Yes, Mango Sago can be vegan-friendly if made with plant-based milk (such as coconut milk or almond milk) instead of dairy milk. Confirm all ingredients, including any added sweeteners or toppings, to ensure they do not contain animal products.

Are there any health benefits or concerns with eating Mango Sago?

Mango Sago provides vitamins from mangoes, such as vitamin C for immune support and vitamin A for eye health. However, it can be high in sugar, especially with added sweeteners, which may not be ideal for those with blood sugar concerns or on low-sugar diets. Moderation is key to enjoying this dessert healthily.

What is the recommended serving size for Mango Sago?

A recommended serving size is about 1 cup (approximately 200-250 grams) to keep calories and sugar intake in check. Avoid oversized portions, especially if consumed as a dessert, to prevent excessive calorie or carbohydrate intake.

How does Mango Sago compare to other desserts in terms of calories and nutrition?

Mango Sago is generally lower in fat compared to creamy desserts like ice cream or cheesecake but higher in carbohydrates due to the tapioca pearls and mango. It is a somewhat lighter dessert option if prepared with minimal sugar and plant-based milk, making it less calorie-dense than traditional Western desserts but higher in natural fruit sugar.
