The ingredient
Ancient Andean starch.
Not wheat. Not a substitute.
SAGÚ is the starch of Maranta arundinacea— a root plant native to the Andean highlands of Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, and Venezuela. Cultivated as a food staple for thousands of years, it is listed on Slow Food's Ark of Taste as an endangered food tradition.
This is not bread with things removed. It is a completely different ingredient — one that happens to give you everything you loved about bread, without what made it a problem.
The problem
Cutting gluten shouldn't mean
accepting the compromise.
Regular wheat bread spikes your blood sugar, causes bloating, and is loaded with additives most people don't read. So you switch to gluten-free — and find dry, tasteless alternatives held together with synthetic emulsifiers and cheap starches. You gave up gluten and got a worse product.
SAGÚ exists because that compromise was never necessary. The ingredient has been there for thousands of years. It just hadn't arrived here yet.
What it does
Your body already knows
how to handle this.
Naturally gluten-free
Not engineered to be. Arrowroot never contained gluten — there is nothing to remove and nothing to compensate for.
Low glycaemic index
Blood sugar stays stable. No spike after eating, no energy crash an hour later.
Contains resistant starch
Acts as a prebiotic — feeds beneficial gut bacteria rather than spiking insulin. Most bread does the opposite.
Exceptionally digestible
No inflammatory compounds. Historically used across the Andes for sensitive stomachs and digestive recovery.
