Sago is carefully harvested and thoroughly cleaned to ensure purity.
Artisan Crafting
Skilled artisans use traditional techniques to transform the sago into the smooth, gelatinous texture of Popeda.

Each batch undergoes rigorous checks to maintain our high standards before being packaged and delivered.
