What is the process of removing toxins from palm sago?

The process of removing toxins from palm sago involves several steps, primarily focused on leaching and fermentation. First, the raw sago starch is extracted from the palm trunk and then soaked in water to dissolve the toxic compounds, particularly cyanogenic glycosides. This mixture is typically rinsed multiple times, and sometimes fermented, to further reduce toxicity. Finally, the starch is dried and can be processed into edible forms, ensuring that the toxic substances have been adequately removed.
