Kitul flour is extracted from the core of the kitul trunk
through a complex traditional process. The edible flour is deposited inside the
trunk of the kitul tree, and it’s believed that the jaggery palms that yield
sap don’t contain starch.
In extracting flour, first, a kitul tree is felled. Then,
the pieces of pith are removed from the trunk. After that, the pith is cut into
small pieces and crushed using mortar and pestle. Next, a pot is filled with
water and a clean cloth is tied to its mouth, which will serve as a rudimentary
filter. Then the pounded pith is mixed with water and allowed to strain through
the cloth to the pot. After some time, the flour settles down on the bottom of
the pot. It is sun-dried to make kithul flour. This is known as the wet method
of kithul flour production.
However, some manufacturers still follow the dry method of kitul
flour preparation where portions of pith are dried, pounded and sieved through
a household strainer.
Yet the traditional method of Kitul flour production is hardly
sufficient to meet the current demand, so it’s essential to invent a more
effective and scientific method to produce it.
