Prepare sweet potatoes:
Choose fresh sweet potatoes, peel them and cut them into small pieces to make it easier to churn and extract the starch.
Rinse the sliced sweet potato wedges with clean water to ensure that the surface is cleaned of dirt.
Stir up sweet potatoes:
Use a blender or food processor to puree the sweet potato wedges. If you don't have a blender, you can also use a fine-bore grater to rub into fine shredded potatoes.
Soaking and straining:
Put the churned sweet potato puree into a container, add an appropriate amount of water, and stir well to form a mixture.
Let the mixture sit for a while to allow the sweet potato starch to settle to the bottom. Pour the upper layer of clean water and rinse several times with clean water until the water becomes relatively clear.
Precipitation and filtration:
Let the mixture sit again and allow the starch to settle. Pour the water from the upper layer, leaving only the starch precipitate at the bottom.
The starch precipitate can be filtered, and impurities can be filtered out by gauze or yarn bags to let the starch through.
Dry or dry on low heat:
Place the filtered starch in a well-ventilated area and let it dry naturally. The drying time depends on the ambient humidity and the amount of sunlight.
If the weather is not suitable for drying, it can also be dried at low temperature. Pay attention to avoid high temperatures, so as not to affect the quality of the starch.
Storage:
When the starch is completely dry, store it in a dry container. Avoid humid environments to maintain the quality of the starch.
The prepared sweet potato starch can be used to cook various delicacies, such as sweet potato vermicelli, sweet potato cake, etc. In addition, sweet potato starch can also be used in the production of pastries and pastries to add taste and nutrition to food. Homemade sweet potato starch is relatively natural and pure, making it healthier and more delicious.
