These plants are cleaned properly so as to remove dirt completely. With the help of peeling mechanisms the roots are peeled off. Then the peeled roots are crushed with water in a machine to form a mixture of starch, fiber, and water, this mixture looks like a milky texture. the mixture is then filtered to take out the starch out of fibrous pulp. The starch is further refined and cleaned. The clean starch is passed through a sieve to pearl like elements. These pearls are then roasted over a hot surface until they are soft. These are then dried to remove the excess moisture.
