The Sago Palm is a type of cycad, a group of ancient plants that have existed for millions of years. Despite its name, it is not a true palm but is often mistaken for one due to its palm-like appearance. The plant features a rosette of stiff, feather-like leaves and can grow up to 10 feet tall. It is commonly found in tropical and subtropical regions. Sago Palms produce large cones, which are essential for reproduction. The seeds and other parts of the plant contain toxins, making them potentially harmful if ingested. However, the starchy pith of the trunk can be processed into a food product known as sago, commonly used in various cuisines.
