| | King's American Dispensatory, 1898: Sago.—Sago. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07) |
 | | The sago, thus separated, is allowed to settle; the water is poured off, and, when it is half dry, it is granulated by being forced through a kind of funnel. |
 | | Sago meal is whitish, with a reddish tint, of a feeble, somewhat unpleasant, moldy odor, and has the general characters of starch. |
 | | For common uses, half an ounce of sago may be boiled in a pint of water (in some cases milk is preferred), the solution strained, and flavored with sugar and spices, lemon, or even with a little white wine, when there are no contraindications to their use. |
