🛠️ Processing Steps

1. Selection & Cleaning of Grains

• Carefully selected barnyard millet (Echinochloa frumentacea) grains are sourced for their high iron and dietary fiber content.
• Grains undergo thorough air-suction cleaning and triple water wash to remove dust, husk, stones, and contaminants.

2. Sprouting Process

• Soaking: Cleaned barnyard grains are soaked in RO-treated water for 6–8 hours.
• Germination: Soaked grains are germinated in a humidity-controlled chamber (28–30°C, 70–75% RH) for 24–36 hours.
• Drying: Germinated grains are dehydrated at <50°C to retain enzymatic activity and antioxidant levels.

3. Milling

• Dried sprouts are stone-ground to obtain a fine-textured flour (100–120 mesh), preserving bran, B-complex vitamins, and minerals.

4. Dough Preparation

• Sprouted barnyard flour is mixed with RO-treated water to prepare a smooth, soft dough.
• Rested for 20–30 minutes to ensure proper hydration and natural binding through gelatinized starches.

5. Vermicelli Formation via Extrusion

• Dough is loaded into a cold extruder fitted with fine vermicelli dies.
• Continuous strands are extruded, cut into uniform lengths (10–15 cm), and air-rested to remove surface moisture.

6. Final Drying

• Semi-dried vermicelli strands are transferred to tray dryers at 45–48°C.
• Dried to a final moisture content <10% to prevent microbial growth and improve shelf life.

7. Packaging & Storage

• Dried vermicelli is sealed in moisture-proof, biodegradable packaging.
• Stored in a cool, dry area, shelf life: 6–9 months under ideal conditions.
