    What is Mango Sago?

    It’s a popular Asian dessert, usually served in Asian restaurants or stores. It is said to have originated in Hong Kong, but its popularity spread to neighboring countries like the Philippines, China, and Singapore.

    Tips & Variations:

    • The best kinds of mangos to use are Carabao or Alphonso mangos! These mangos are usually sweeter than any other mango variety! You can find them at your local Asian market or Trader Joe’s.
    • If you can’t find sago pearls, you can use tapioca pearls.
    • If your mangos are really sweet, add less sugar.
    • If you don’t have mango available, you can serve it with fresh berries, pineapple, or even frozen fruit!
    • Storage: Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days in an airtight container.

    Frequently Asked Questions:

    No. Tapioca pearls are made from the starch of cassava while sago is made from the starch of tropical palm trees. But they taste very similar.

    No, it will affect the texture, just follow the directions of the package.
