How to extract water chestnut powder? The production steps are very simple.
1. First wash and peel the horseshoes.
2. Then put the water chestnuts into a blender and mash them well. You can mash them directly if you don’t have a blender. The mashier the better.
3. Then filter out the water chestnut juice, wash the residue with clean water, and then filter out the juice.
4. Let the water chestnut juice stand and the powder will settle at the bottom. Gently pour out the water on top and dry the powder at the bottom to become water chestnut powder. Use fresh water chestnuts and pick out rotten and cracked fruits. Rinse the water chestnuts with clean water and remove the outer skin and side buds.
Put the washed water chestnuts into a basin and chop them into small pieces with a kitchen knife. The particles should be as big as corn kernels.
Add a small amount of water to the particles and beat them into a slurry with a beater.
When filtering, pour a small amount of clean water and shake the bag with your hands to let the slurry flow out. Filtration is the key to ensuring the quality of water chestnuts.
Add a small amount of water to the filtered slurry, stir well, and allow to settle for 24 hours. Then, pour out the water above, add an appropriate amount of water, and filter while stirring.
Put the obtained wet water chestnut powder in the sun to dry for several days until it is completely dry and no longer sticky to your hands. In this way, the water chestnut powder is ready.
