Sago, or sabudana as we popularly call it, has a history that dates to the late 1800s. Made by extracting starch from the tapioca root, sago was an integral part of Chinese cuisine for thousands of years, before arriving in India as an import from Southeast Asia in the 1940s. New claims suggest that it has now become the superfood of 2022.
But is it the only superfood taking over this year? We talked to different chefs from across cuisines about what they think is the superfood of 2022, and here's what they suggest:
KOKUM
Suggested by: Chef Raveena Taurani, founder of Yogisattva
The hottest superfood right now is kokum. Kokum is a tropical summer fruit with a tangy taste. It works great in a beverage or curry, especially during the summer season as it cools the body, aids in digestion, and is known to elevate your mood. In order to avoid dehydration or a heat stroke, which the summer season often brings along, kokum sherbet is the best remedy to load your body with nutrients.
CALUMPANG NUTS (CHAROLI)
Suggested by Chef Karishma Sakhrani
