This is a resourceful recipe for extracting cassava starch at home. Cassava starch can be used to make breads, cakes, and other baked goods. I find it simple and satisfying to make.

Steps

1

Chop the cassava and blend it with water for about 3 minutes, working in batches if needed.
2

Strain the blended mixture through a fine sieve. Save the solids left in the strainer to make small breads or arepas with cheese.
3

Let the strained liquid sit undisturbed for 24 hours to allow the starch to settle.
4

After 24 hours, carefully pour off the water. The starch will be left at the bottom of the container.
5

Spread the starch on a tray and let it dry in the sun for a day.
6

Once dry, process the starch and sift it well to get a fine powder.
7

That's it! Store the starch in a zip-top bag.
