Cool thread! I’ve been working on processing multiple locally available foods into alternative flours. As long as I have electricity, I can do larger amounts with my mill and dehydrator but can also solar dehydrate and grind by hand if necessary.
So far, I’ve perfected my taro processing. Next are green bananas, breadfruit and Job’s Tears.
Quoting: Rev Woo-Woo Excellent, I'm very impressed. What are the tools and basic process needed? Quoting: PINKORCHID88 Hawaiian taro (kalo) corms are HUGE and take a long time to cook. Traditionally, it’s baked overnight, underground. More modern day process is to steam it over night in large barrels and wood fires. Steaming or boiling just 3 large ones at home on a stove can take several hours. I cut down this process to about 40 minutes by steaming in an Instant Pot. The corms are then cooled and peeled and ready to make poi or flour. For flour, I grate them and spread the shreds on my dehydrator trays. 2 hours at 135F and they’re good and dry. It’s then just a simple process of running it through my grain mill. I’m using a 10 quart Instant Pot and a Mock Mill 200. Haven’t yet discovered the perfect method for poi yet (other than the traditional pounding method) Too thick for my food processor - kills the motor and though my Ninja does fairly well, there are still small chunks and it’s motor also heats up. Next experiment will be with a Champion juicer. Just need to order a part to get it up and running again.
