A starchy food from the trunks of palms (4)

I believe the answer is:

sago

(Other definitions for sago that I've seen before include "Powdery starchy food" , "Type of milk pudding" , "Starchy cereal used in puddings" , "dessert?" , "Powdery starch used in cooking" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
