Description

Sago is the staple food of the tribes inhabiting the South Pacific region, including the Eastern part of Indonesia. One of the largest ethnic groups, Melanesians, inhabit several of the most significant Islands in the area, including Papua, Salomon, Fiji, Vanuatu, Tuvalu, etc. This young Melanesian mother is processing sago. There are several steps to produce sago flour. Firstly, Sago stems, which are around six to ten years old, must be cut down, and their bark is peeled; the inside of the tree is forged using a wooden ax to shatter and form fibers. Then, the sago palm fibers are mixed with water and squeezed like coconut milk. Its pollen then flows through a channel made from sago fronds and stays quiet in a big container made of sago fronds for several days. The traditional bag placed on the sago frond channel is prepared for sago flour and is ready to bring home. The bag is made of palm stalk fronds. !


Bahasa Indonesia

Sagu merupakan makanan pokok suku-suku yang mendiami kawasan Pasifik Selatan, termasuk Indonesia bagian Timur. Salah satu kelompok etnis terbesar, Melanesia, mendiami beberapa pulau terbesar di wilayah tersebut, termasuk Papua, Salomon, Fiji, Vanuatu, Tuvalu, dll. Ibu muda Melanesia ini sedang mengolah sagu. Ada beberapa langkah untuk memproduksi tepung sagu. Pertama, batang sagu yang berumur sekitar enam sampai sepuluh tahun harus ditebang dan dikupas kulitnya; bagian dalam pohon ditempa menggunakan kapak kayu hingga hancur dan membentuk serat atau serabuk. Kemudian, serat sagu dicampur dengan air dan diperas seperti santan. Serbuk sarinya kemudian mengalir melalui saluran yang terbuat dari pelepah sagu dan didiamkan dalam wadah besar yang terbuat dari pelepah sagu selama beberapa hari. Kantong tradisional yang diletakkan di atas saluran pelepah sagu disiapkan untuk tepung sagu dan siap dibawa pulang. Kantongnya terbuat dari pelepah batang palem. !
