Question:

 

When people fast during Ekadasi they don't eat grains but eat Khichadi (Sabudana Khichadi.) Why Sabudana is not a grain???

 

Answer.

 

Sabudana is actually called sagudana in Ayurveda because it is prepared from the tuber portion of the plant Sagus laevus (sago). It is also prepared from the starch extract from the tuber portion of the plant Manihot Esculenta Crantz and Cassava Tapioca grown in Kerala, Tamilnadu, and other southern parts of India.

 

These tubers are also eaten just like Sakarkanda. The flour is also eaten as Halwa. Starch prepared from these tubers is passed through moving sieves and Sagudana comes out of it.

 

Similarly it is prepared from the starch of the plant Metroxylon sagu found in Malaysia, Indonesia and Philippines.

 

So it is clear from above that sagudana is not a grain.

 

It is also prepared from potatoes in South India.

Hare Krishna dear vaisnavas!

Does anyone have any information regarding the following. Perhaps to prove
wrong, or to confirm it? Since saboodana (sabudana) or Tapioca is commonly
used in our society on Ekadasi days.

Thank you

I am giving below rough translation on an article from one Nainmal Surana
published in Dakshin Samachar on March 31, 2010. Feel free to treat this as
you deem fit...or research yourself...



****************************************************************************

*******************




In Tamil Nadu, in Salem area on the road from Salem to Coimbatore there are
many saboodana factories.  We start getting terribly bad smell when we are
about 2 kms away from the factories.



Saboodana is made by root like sweet potato.  Kerala has this root each
weighing about 6kgs.  Factory owners buy these roots in bulk during season,
make it to pulp and put it in pits of about 40ft x 25ft.  Pits are in open
ground and the pulp is allowed to rot for several months.  Thousands of tons
of roots rot in pits.    There are huge electric bulbs throughout the night
where millions of insects fall in the pits.



While pulp is rotting, water is added everyday due to which 2” long white
colour eel is automatically born like pests are born automatically in
gutter.  The walls of pits are covered by millions of eels and factory
owners with the help of machine crush the pulp with the eels who also become
paste.  This action is repeated many times during 5-6 months.



The pulp is thus ready as roots and millions & millions of pests and insects
crushed and pasted together.  This paste is then passed through round mesh
and made into small balls and then polished.  This is saboodana.



****************************************************************************

Now I know whey many people don’t eat Saboodana during ‘Agyaras’ treating
this as non-vegetarian.



If you find it appropriate and if you think after reading this one cannot
relish Saboodana, pass on to those whom you want to save from this tasty
food.
