When is the best time to process cassava?

The optimal storage period for cassava after harvest is 3 days, and it is generally not recommended to exceed one week. The reason is that fresh cassava roots are easy to be spoiled because of their high moisture content. Besides, long-term storage will convert the starch content of cassava into sugar, and if they are used for further processing, the final product will be reduced. Therefore, the best time to process cassava is within one week after harvesting.

Fresh cassava tubers can be processed into different products like garri, cassava flour, cassava starch cassava chips, etc.

If you want to do cassava processing and start with a small investment, you can consider garri production. Henan Jinrui company can provide complete machines for small-scale garri production, including peeler, grater, hydraulic presser, garri fryer, and vibration sieve machine. Firstly, cassava tubers are cleaned and peeled by sand roller peeling machine. Then peeled cassava will be crushed into mash by a grater machine. After crushing, cassava mash will be put into bags for fermentation for 2-3 days. After that, fermented cassava will be dehydrated byhydraulic presser machine, and then use fryer to fry the cassava to get garri, finally, vibration sieve machine is used to separate big particles of garri and get fine quality final garri product.
