Fermented breadfruit fufu flour (research product)

A research flour made by treating breadfruit the way cassava is retted for fufu. Peeled, chopped breadfruit was left to ferment in water for 5 days, then dewatered, oven-dried at 50 °C and milled into a flour for a fufu-like swallow. It is a lab product, not a traditional food.

A short entry: the sources we found record only what is said here about Fermented breadfruit fufu flour itself.

At a glance

A research flour made by treating breadfruit the way cassava is retted for fufu. Peeled, chopped breadfruit was left to ferment in water for 5 days, then dewatered, oven-dried at 50 °C and milled into a flour for a fufu-like swallow. It is a lab product, not a traditional food. Made in 3 steps over 5 days. The longest step, steep and ferment, takes 5 days (Adeniran H.A 2012). Lactic acid bacteria and yeasts does most of the fermenting.

What makes this one different

It borrows the cassava fufu method for breadfruit. Cassava was fermented alongside it in the same study and showed matching rises in microbial counts.
