Papeda is one of Papua’s most iconic and famous specialties. This food is usually a staple food as a source of carbohydrates.

Padeda has a thick texture and mild flavor. This food is made from sago trees that have been squeezed, strained and cooked.

Apart from coming directly from the sago tree, papeda can also be made from sago flour. The method is simple, just bring water to a boil, then put the sago in a pot or bowl, add orange juice, salt and cold water to taste.

Stir in the sago and all the ingredients, then strain. When the water boils, pour it into the prepared sago and stir until cooked. Keep stirring until evenly cooked.

Papua people’s have a specialty processed food, sago plates. The flavor of this unique oriental food was originally tasteless.

However, it has recently been sweetened with sugar and modified by adding ingredients such as peanuts, coconut and sugar to its composition.
