Takeaways
- 😀 Select fresh, mature cassava roots for the best starch quality.
- 😀 Peel the cassava thoroughly to remove the outer skin.
- 😀 Wash the cassava roots well to eliminate dirt and impurities.
- 😀 Grate or crush the cassava into a fine pulp for easier starch extraction.
- 😀 Mix the cassava pulp with water to separate the starch from fibrous material.
- 😀 Strain the mixture through a fine cloth or sieve to collect the liquid.
- 😀 Allow the liquid to settle so the starch forms a thick sediment at the bottom.
- 😀 Carefully drain the water without disturbing the starch sediment.
- -
- 😀 Dry the starch under the sun or using a dehydrator until fully dry.

Q & A
What is the first step in making cassava starch?
-The first step is peeling and thoroughly washing the cassava roots to remove dirt and impurities.
Why is it necessary to peel cassava before processing?
-Peeling removes the outer skin, which may contain dirt, toxins, or undesirable fibers, ensuring the starch is clean and safe.
How is cassava prepared after peeling?
-After peeling, cassava is grated into a fine pulp to facilitate starch extraction.
How do you extract starch from grated cassava?
-Place the grated cassava in water and squeeze or press it, then strain the mixture through a fine cloth or sieve to separate the starchy liquid from fibrous material.
What is the purpose of letting the cassava liquid settle?
-Allowing the liquid to settle for several hours lets the starch sediment sink to the bottom, separating it from the water.
How is excess water removed from the settled starch?
-Carefully pour off the water from the top, leaving only the starch sediment at the bottom.
What are the drying methods for cassava starch?
-The starch can be dried under the sun or using a dehydrator until it becomes a dry, powdery form.
Why is grinding and sieving optional after drying?
-Grinding and sieving produce a finer, more uniform powder and remove any remaining lumps or coarse particles.
What precautions should be taken when processing cassava?
-Ensure proper washing, peeling, and processing because some cassava varieties contain cyanogenic compounds that can be toxic if not handled correctly.
What are the main uses of cassava starch?
-Cassava starch is used in cooking and baking as a thickener or ingredient, and also in various industrial applications such as textiles, adhesives, and paper production.
How long does sun drying typically take for cassava starch?
-Sun drying usually takes 2–3 days, depending on the weather and humidity.
