Peepaetion of Its Flour

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Dig up the roots and wash them.

  2. Pound the roots into a pulp.

  3. Place the pulp in water to separate the starch from the fibrous portion.

  4. Remove the fibers by hand, leaving the starch suspended in the water.

  5. Strain the milky fluid through a coarse towel.

  6. Allow the fluid to stand so the flour can settle.

  7. Wash the settled flour with fresh water.

  8. Dry the flour in the sun.
