- Abstract
Baked sago, known as sago bread, is a traditional food from Tidore made mainly from cassava starch. This sago is different from sago in other areas, which is generally made from sago palm starch (Metroxylon sagu). Sago bread is part of the culinary heritage of North Maluku. Sago bread has the potential to be a nutritious food source. This study aims to analyse its nutrient composition, including carbohydrate, fibre, protein, fat, and major mineral levels. This study used library research. The results show that sago bread is high in complex carbohydrates, low in fat, and rich in dietary fibre, making it an alternative staple food that supports a healthy diet. Furthermore, the presence of sago bread in the lives of the Tidore community reflects the close relationship between culinary practices, the natural environment, and local knowledge. This study recommends the preservation and development of baked sago as a sustainable, nutrition-based local food.
