Cannabaceae

Sasagun is a traditional Batak snack.

It is classically produced from rice flour mixed with coconut and then roasted with brown sugar or just simple white sugar. Other flavors can be mixed also, such as pineapple and durian, nuts or according to one's own taste.

Sasagun is commonly found in North Sumatera cities and towns. The dish is popular amongst Mandailing and Toba Batak people. Historically, Sasagun is often given as souvenirs and is a symbol of deep family ties. Sasagun has a crumbly texture and is usually served in a bowl.[1]

Philosophy[edit]

Previously, the food was always prepared and given by parents to their children who were about to set out for abroad and also to those who would return home after being away overseas.

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
