Poundo Yam Flour || How To Make Poundo Yam Flour

#Poundo #yamflour #creatorontherise
Upon publishing our video tutorial on how to process yam flour (elubo), some of our fans specifically requested that we teach them how to process poundo yam flour and as usual, GFB gladly obliged.
•
But let us clarify this upfront that yam flour (elubo) and poundo yam flour are both processed from yam, which belongs to the genus Dioscorea (family Dioscoreaceae). However, the method of processing each of them distinguishes one from the other.
•
It might interest you to know that once you fail to judiciously follow the appropriate processing method for any of the yam powder, you won’t get the right final outcome you desire.
•
It is also noteworthy that yam (Dioscorea) is totally different from potato (Ipomoea batatas) 🍠 as portrayed by some peeps.

Quick one, after the 5 minutes parboil, will it become soft a bit? Or it should remain hard like how you put it in?

[@Globalfoodbook1]

@@rems_andrew Hi, the yam should remain hard as shown in the video. You are only parboiling the yam and not cooking it, hence you need to monitor the level of heat being used to parboil the yam. Best regards

[@Globalfoodbook1]

I’m glad you found the video helpful

[@inspirationchannel7967]

Fantastic. Your procedure is very correct!

[@Globalfoodbook1]

Thanks for your compliments and for watching

[@lobito365]

Firstly, you need such equipment like: weighing machine; slice and grating machine; milling pounded yam machine. Thus, yam flour processing includes: washing of the yam; grating of the yam; milling of it and packaging. Consequently, the production process of pounded yam flour is: purchasing of high quality white yam; washing away the sand on the yam tubers; peeling of the yam tubers; then washing of the yam tubers; cutting and grating of the yam tubers; grinding and sieving of the granule; finally, packaging of the yam flour in branded package.

[@Globalfoodbook1]

Those are great tips for peeps that want to go into large scale production of yam flour. But don’t forget that blanching/parboiling the yam is important to prevent them from changing colour during the production process.

[@cynthiaujunwa5283]

Please we need to talk about this I want to go into the business please your number please

[@badmusshukurat837]

Please what will happen if the yam was cooked @global cook food

[@Globalfoodbook1]

Any yam specie that is in whitish will work

[@olivia17ify]

You probably didn't blanch the yam first or dried it thoroughly. Follow the steps shown in this video accordingly and it will work. Best wishes@@olivia17ify

I actually blanched as instructed and dried as instructed. I got the flour as you did in the video but when I tried to make it into poundo the first yam was slightly bitter and the second was like starch

[@Globalfoodbook1]

I don't know why yours turned out bitter but any regular edible white yam should work. For making poundo, stir your desired quantity in hot boiling water just like I did in this tigernut fufu video kzbin.info/www/bejne/p33Iq2ifad6rmMksi=hzhSUZ4gxVSBXt12 Best wishes! @@olivia17ify

Thank you for this content. I tried it but the yam still turned dark after blanching. Guess the enzymatic reaction still continue after blanching. How do I solve that?

Oh my goodness, sorry to hear that. Did you leave the yam in water all through the time you were slicing them? Did you dry the yam immediately after you finished blanching them?

[@tunjioluwatuyi3815]

@@Globalfoodbook1 the yam was in water all through the time I was slicing it. I transferred it to dehydrator immediately after blanching.

[@Globalfoodbook1]

It sounds strange to hear that you followed the process accordingly and yet the yam turned black. Now I’m speculating that it could be that the specie of the yam you used isn’t a good one or that the settings of the dehydrator you used is too harsh on the yam. I’ve had many of my fans tried this method and came back to me with positive results. Some of them even shared the pictures of theirs with me. I suggest you try again with another yam. Maybe dry them immediately after blanching under intense sunlight to observe if there is an improvement. Remember to spread out the yam. Don’t place them on one another. Slice the yam thinly for easy drying. Don’t overcook when blanching. I hope it works out well for you. Keep me updated and all the best.
