1. Cold water immersion cleaning
This step is very important. Because there is still a whole process of selection, the white sesame seeds used for washing are small dice, and the round white sesame seeds floating on the river are unnecessary. We only use the round white sesame seeds in the dice.
2. Detect the emergence rate of round white sesame seeds.
Let's see if the vitality contained in it is abundant, and the germination rate should not be less than 95%. After several times of germination, the results are all 97% or even 100%. Some may be that there are too many blisters in the whole process of germination. Only white sesame seeds with such high emergence rate can be selected as sesame balls if all the seeds are alive.
Step 3 cook
On a sunny day, at 5 o'clock every morning, just after steaming for an hour, there will be a strong aroma of black sesame powder at this moment. Be sure to steam it thoroughly. When the time comes, put the black sesame powder into a clean circular bamboo dustpan.
Step 4 dry
Pay attention to the fact that white sesame seeds can't be spread too thick to ensure that the bottom white sesame seeds can touch the sun. Spread a thin layer, with an average of less than 0.5 cm. 0.5–1hour to ensure that white sesame seeds are evenly dried. I just start drying at 8 o'clock every morning, and collect it after the end of the day, sucking up the blood of Kun!
5. Repeat the actual operation above for eight times.
Repeat the above process for nine times, and every time you remember it, you must clean it, because there is dust in the sun outside.
6. Grinding into powder
The black sesame powder after nine steaming and nine sun drying is ground twice with a stone mill, and then pounded with a stone mortar. It is often not mixed with honey before pounded here, because after several experiments, it was found that pure honey with damp heat was pounded, the Indian mage often said that the essence of the black sesame powder, "Da Mo Xiang You", would be dissolved a lot, but it was impossible to buy it. Therefore, adjust the sequential order to ensure that the "big sesame oil" flows out as little as possible.
Step 7 refine honey
When refining honey, first boil the pure honey with fire, then gradually boil it with slow fire, and remove the liquid paraffin and other residues floating on the surface of the pure honey.
8. Pilling
Stir white sesame seeds and pure honey evenly according to a proper proportion, make meatballs, knead them moderately, and wrap them with wrapping paper. Will do a good job of sealing the meatballs.
9. Nutritional components
