What do you do with your sweet potato peels? Amaara as known in my native language, can be used to make flour. Gluten free to be precise.
As taught by my grandma, I wash mine, dry them, &grind into flour that I use for baking,porridge and ugali. #Foodsovereighty

Since I struggle with gluten. I am always exploring with different flours. For baking, I mix the sweet potato peel flour with cassava flour and make bread. I should mention that the flour has a sweet taste because of the natural sugar in the sweet potatoes. And zero bloating💃
For porridge, I mix it with finger millet,groundnuts,sesame,and cowpeas. This is for both fermented and non-fermented porridge.
For ugali, I mix it with cassava and millet flour.

With rising concerns of pesticide use in food production, a lot of people would find it difficult to use the peels. However, one can throw away the peels and use the sweet potato flesh to make flour. #foodsovereignty #valueaddition
The sweet potatoes I use are from our farm & are grown organically.
Which is why it is important to know the source of your food and to stop the use of toxic pesticides in food production. #foodsovereignty #agroecology
