    Can I Give My Baby Sabudana

    Sabudana/Sago/Tapioca/Javvarisi is simple Indian food made from the roots of the tapioca tree. It is a good source of carbohydrates and little minerals, proteins, and vitamins.  It is often preferred as fasting food or taken during sickness as it gives instant energy. Sabudana is a good option for growing infants, too as it helps in weight gain and improves digestion.

Gradually you can include the mashed sabudana pearls as well. Follow three days rule. If your baby does not have any allergies, continue with sabudana. The sabudana become soft and spongy after cooking. Don't tempt to overcook the sabudana as it will turn sticky.

    • Choose sabudana with full white color and no yellow shade.
    • You can buy sabudana from grocery stores or online stores like Amazon. Store in an airtight container after buying. Keep it in a cool and dry place, away from moisture.
