"There are lots of restrictions during fasting when it comes to food. This is the reason why Sonia Goyal shared this Sago delight sabudana recipe for this festive season. "Sabudana is widely used during fasting days because it has a low level of fat and protein. On the other hand, it is rich in carbohydrate and gives good energy during fasts", Sonia explained about the recipe.

100 grams of dry sabudana or tapioca gives you 355 calories, including an average of 94 grams of carbohydrates, 0.5 grams of dietary fibre, 0.2 grams of protein, 10 milligrams of calcium, 1.2 milligrams of iron and traces of carotene, thiamine, ascorbic acid, fat etc.

According to ayurveda, sabudana kheer or porriage can neutralize high body temperature and hence considered as one of the best summer foods.

The sago kheer can be served in times of tummy upset and/or fever for kids or adults, when it is necessary to eat light food.

Sonia Goyal also shared that regular consumption of sabudana keeps blood pressure levels under control. Also, the potassium present in it aids healthy blood flow and lowers the pressure on the cardiovascular system. It is a weight gain food so it helps to not loose weight during fasts. So if you're skinny and wish to gain weight naturally, you can add tapioca to your routine diet. Tapioca or sabudana prevents gas, indigestion and constipation problems and is good for your metabolism and digestive system.
