How is sago processed?

Because the starch content within coconut trees peaks before they bloom and quickly disappears after they bloom, locals rush to harvest them before they bloom. Before flowering, the coconut tree trunks in the West Valley are stored full of starch from the base of the trunk all the way to the top. The locals take the stems of the coconut trees after felling them down, scrape out the starch from them, then soak them in water, wait until the starch settles to the bottom, then fish them out and dry them, then process them into rice, and the sago we usually eat appears.

Something special about sago
