Sa-um is fermented pork fat from Mizoram. Pig caul fat is minced, boiled with a little water for about 15 minutes, packed into a dry bottle gourd and left 3 to 5 days in the winter sun, or 2 to 3 days beside the cooking stove in the monsoon. It turns into a semi-dry, gummy, spongy fat with a distinct astringency.

Sa-um is fermented pork fat from Mizoram. Pig caul fat is minced, boiled with a little water for about 15 minutes, packed into a dry bottle gourd and left 3 to 5 days in the winter sun, or 2 to 3 days beside the cooking stove in the monsoon. It turns into a semi-dry, gummy, spongy fat with a distinct astringency. Made in 4 steps over 2 days – 5 days. The longest step, ripen in the sun or by the stove, takes 2–5 days (De Mandal S 2018). Kocuria, Lactobacillus, Bacillus coagulans, Collinsella and Coprococcus, the genera the authors name as possibly involved in the fermentation does most of the fermenting.
Sa-um is rendered fat ripened briefly in a gourd; it barely acidifies (pH 6.6) and is mostly a dehydrated fat. Faroese garnatálg, another fat-only ferment, is sheep gut fat air-dried and ripened in a wind-swept shed.
Sa-um barely acidifies. Its bacteria are dominated by Clostridium, including C. tetani and C. perfringens, and the study predicted antibiotic-resistance and pro-inflammatory genes. A case-control study in Mizoram linked sa-um eating with type 2 diabetes (odds ratio 18.98), an association, not proof of cause. A 2025 Mizoram diet review also lists sa-um among traditional foods linked to stomach carcinoma and type 2 diabetes.
Hazards the sources name: Clostridium tetani (21.29 %, the top OTU in genus Clostridium) and C. perfringens (0.31 %); Clostridium was the largest genus (7.61 %).
