Apart from products such as lafun, fufu and gari, cassava tubers are being processed into flour, tapioca, starch, industrial alcohol and other products in large quantities.
Cassava flour
Cassava should be processed into flour with 24 hours from the time of harvesting.
Method
* Get freshly harvested cassava tubers, wash before peeling, peel and wash again
* Grate and press the water out within 1-2 hours
* Spread on a clean and raised platform until it dries completely
* Mill and sieve with a fine net
* Pack in a clean, sealed or airtight container.
Vitamin A cassava can processed as stated but don't expose it to much sunlight. Ultra Violent rays break down and denature vitamin A.
