🌿 Processing of Aavarampoo Little Millet Vermicelli Using Sprouted Little Millet Flour
Ingredients Composition
- Sprouted Little Millet (Panicum sumatrense) Flour – 90%
- Aavarampoo (Cassia auriculata) Flower Powder – 5% (for its medicinal properties, antioxidants, and detoxification benefits)
- Cold-Pressed Coconut Oil – As required (optional, for dough consistency and texture)
- Rock Salt – As required
- RO Treated Water – As required (for dough preparation)
🛠️ Processing Steps
1. Selection & Cleaning of Grains
- Premium little millet grains are selected and cleaned by passing through air classifiers and sieves to remove dust, dirt, and foreign particles.
- The grains are then washed with RO-treated water to ensure complete purity.
2. Sprouting of Little Millet
- Soaking: The cleaned little millet grains are soaked in RO-treated water for 8–10 hours to activate enzymatic processes.
- Germination: The soaked grains are incubated at a temperature of 28–30°C with 75–80% humidity for 24–30 hours to sprout, enhancing nutrient bioavailability and reducing anti-nutrients like phytic acid.
- Drying: The sprouted grains are dried at <50°C in a dehydrator to preserve their nutritional integrity.
3. Aavarampoo Processing
- Aavarampoo flowers are hand-picked, carefully washed, and shade-dried to retain maximum nutrient content and color.
- Dried flowers are ground to a fine powder (100–150 microns) to ensure uniformity and effectiveness in the final product.
- The powder is rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, and helps with detoxification, blood sugar regulation, and skin health.
4. Milling & Blending
- The sprouted little millet grains are stone-ground into a fine flour.
- Aavarampoo flower powder is then blended into the flour at 5% w/w, providing the noodles with a distinct golden hue and medicinal properties.
5. Dough Preparation
- The flour blend is mixed with RO-treated water to form a dough.
- Cold-pressed coconut oil is added to the dough if necessary for improved texture and consistency.
- The dough is kneaded well and allowed to rest for 20–30 minutes for hydration.
6. Vermicelli Extrusion
- The dough is extruded into thin strands using a cold-extrusion machine.
- The vermicelli is cut to desired lengths (typically 10–12 cm).
7. Drying & Dehydration
- The formed vermicelli strands are dried in tray dryers at 45–50°C to reduce moisture content below 10%, which ensures extended shelf stability while preserving texture and nutritional content.
8. Packing & Storage
- The dried Aavarampoo little millet vermicelli is packed in moisture-resistant, eco-friendly packaging.
- Shelf Life: The product remains stable for 6–9 months when stored in a cool, dry environment, away from direct sunlight.
