Sabudana (Sago Pearls), raw by portion
Everything scales linearly from the 90 g serving. If your portion is bigger, so is the number.
| Portion | Grams | Calories | Protein | Carbs | Fat | Fibre |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 × 1 katori raw | 90 g | 322 kcal | 0.2 g | 79.0 g | 0.0 g | 0.8 g |
| 2 × 1 katori raw | 180 g | 644 kcal | 0.4 g | 158.0 g | 0.0 g | 1.6 g |
| 3 × 1 katori raw | 270 g | 967 kcal | 0.5 g | 237.1 g | 0.1 g | 2.4 g |
| Per 100 g | 100 g | 358 kcal | 0.2 g | 87.8 g | 0.0 g | 0.9 g |
Carbohydrate is available carbohydrate; fibre is listed separately and is in neither the carbohydrate column nor the energy figure. Energy is reconciled against 4P + 4C + 9F on every build.

Read this with it: IFCT 2017 carries tapioca only as the fresh cassava root, which is a different food from dried sago pearls. Fibre has been subtracted from USDA's carbohydrate-by-difference to give available carbohydrate.
How sabudana (sago pearls), raw is counted here
- The serving is the portion this food is actually eaten in — 1 katori raw, taken as 90 g — not an anonymous 100 g.
- Composition is read off a named row: USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy (FDC ID 169717, Tapioca, pearl, dry), and the label on that row is printed above rather than hidden.
- Carbohydrate is available carbohydrate. Where a source publishes carbohydrate by difference, the fibre is subtracted here and the subtraction is stated.
- Energy is reconciled against Atwater factors on every build; a value that disagrees with its own macros does not ship.
serving kcal = 358 kcal/100 g × (90 g ÷ 100) = 322 kcal check = 4·P + 4·C + 9·F (±15%, ±20% high-fibre)
Where it sits on a fasting plate
Among the 11 entries in vrat flours & grains on this site, sabudana (sago pearls), raw ranks 3 of 11 for energy density at 358 kcal per 100 g.
Protein supplies only 0% of its energy. Most of the vrat food list looks like this, which is exactly why വ്രതത്തിനിടയിലെ പ്രോട്ടീൻ is the guide people need most.
It is energy-dense enough that a small portion carries a lot, which is easy to miss when it is eaten by the handful through a fasting day.
Questions
Is sabudana (sago pearls), raw eaten during a vrat?
It is commonly eaten during a phalahar vrat in most households. Customs differ by family, region and community — this describes what is usual, not what is required.
How many calories are in 1 katori raw of sabudana (sago pearls), raw?
About 322 kcal for 1 katori raw, taken as 90 g (almost pure starch — there is essentially no protein here). That is 0.2 g protein, 79.0 g carbohydrate and 0.0 g fat. Per 100 g it carries 358 kcal.
Is sabudana (sago pearls), raw filling, or just energy?
Protein supplies only about 0% of its energy, so treat it as fuel rather than as something that will keep you full. Fibre is low at 0.9 g per 100 g. On a vrat that matters more than usual, because so much of the permitted food list is rapidly digested starch.

Practices are described as commonly observed; customs differ by family, region, community and sampradaya, and this site is not an authority on any of them. Food values come from the Indian Food Composition Tables 2017 (ICMR–NIN), the older ICMR–NIN tables, USDA FoodData Central, named composition studies and the shared ThaliFacts dataset, reconciled against Atwater factors on every build. Which source applies to which food is listed per food, and every source carries the date it was last checked. General information only — not medical or religious guidance.
