Comment 
EtymologyNamed after the Indonesian word “papeda”, a traditional fiber-rich, cholesterol-low food in Moluccas and West Papua made from sago (Metroxylon sagu, family Arecaceae) starch. The name is used as a noun in apposition. The epithet honors (promote) a traditional culinary feature of Obi Island. Papeda is white in color, with the texture resembling sticky glue, and the cuisine is usually served with tuna fish and flavored with saffron.
