It's the easy route to just slap a "sago" on bags of Chinese/Thai/Filipino tapioca pearls, as there isn't too much of a difference (flavor/texture). So the "sago" that is the ingredient in various drinks/desserts we've come to love could be either one, and most people can't tell the difference. The actual sago derived from the sago palm would be where it counts, I think. However if you want the name to match the product, then avoid any mention of tapioca pearls. Just my two cents lol - I think that the terms are used interchangeably in the food industry.

I've always thought that sago was tapioca, now I know they're two totally different things! Thanks for the clarification MM!
