Sabudana is often recommended during times of illness or digestive problems. Why? Because it is gentle on the digestive system, soothes the stomach lining and can relieve the symptoms of indigestion and hyperacidity.
Another important benefit of consuming sabudana is that it can provide you with plenty of energy to get you through the day. The starch and sugar present in sabudana help in the formation of glucose providing you with a good amount of energy.
