sago starch = sago = pearl sage Pronunciation: SAY-go Notes: This flour is made from the inner pulp of the sago palm. It's often used to make pudding, but it can also serve as an all-purpose thickener. Look for it in Asian markets. Substitutes: tapioca pearls
sahlab Notes: This is made from orchid tubers and has a pleasant, flowery smell. Look for it in Middle Eastern markets. Substitutes: cornstarch (Substitute measure for measure.)
