How we make Activated Flour 

Certainly, the process you're describing involves soaking the millets, sun-drying them, and then stone-grinding them to create activated flour. This method is commonly used in traditional food preparation and has its own set of benefits.

Here's a more detailed step-by-step guide based on the process you've mentioned:

Ingredients and Equipment:

1. Millets (any variety you prefer)
2.  Water for soaking
3. Stone grinder or any suitable grinding equipment

Instructions:

1. Soaking:

• Measure the desired amount of millets and rinse them thoroughly under running water.
• Place the millets in a bowl and cover them with enough water. Allow them to soak for 6 to 8 hours. This soaking process helps soften the millets and makes them easier to grind.

2. Sun Drying:

• After soaking, drain the water from the millet.
• Spread the soaked millets evenly on a clean cloth or tray to allow them to sun-dry. Ensure they are exposed to sunlight for several hours until they are completely dried. The drying process may take a day or more, depending on the sunlight available.

3. Stone Grinding:

Once the millets are thoroughly dried, use a stone grinder or any suitable grinding equipment to grind them into flour. The stone grinding method is often preferred for its ability to retain the nutritional integrity of the grains.

4. Sieve if Necessary:

After grinding, you may choose to sieve the flour to achieve a finer texture, removing any larger particles.

Activated millet flour obtained through this process is likely to have a distinct flavor and nutritional profile due to the traditional methods used. It can be used in a variety of recipes, such as bread, pancakes, or other baked goods. Always follow food safety guidelines and use the activated millet flour as specified in your recipes.
