Nagasari literally means "the seed of the dragon" or "the beautiful dragon". Since the Javanese dragon is often depicted as a green snake, the food is thus given green color.
The word nagasari can also refer to: 1) a specific tree; 2) a specific batik pattern.
In modern time, people start making different colors of nagasari. Blue nagasari, among them, gets its blue color from butterfly pea flowers.
Nagasari is commonly sold in Indonesian traditional market as a jajan pasar.
In Suriname, which has a significantly large Javanese population, it's pronounced nogosari and consists of rice flour with bananas that are steamed in banana leaf packets.
