    About This Video:
    I gathered polynesian arrowroot, grated it, extracted and dried the starch and cooked it into gelatinous, pancake shaped food that tasted like rice noodles. Polynesian arrow root is a plant in the same family as yams but with a different growth habit. It has a single, branching leaf and a single tuber below ground. They were brought to Australia about 5000 years ago as one of the "canoe" plants carried by Polynesian seafarers and grow wild in the hills near my hut to this day. The tubers are rich in starch but have a bitter compound that needs to be leached out with water to be made edible. This same compound is traditionally a medicine in small quantities for treating a range of illnesses from gastrointestinal upset to snake bite. I dug up the tubers which took about 3 minutes to do per plant, yielding one golf ball sized tuber each. These were then washed and grated into a pot using a roof tile. The resulting mash was mixed with water and allowed to settle. The white milky water was then scooped into a second pot and the starch was allowed to settle. The water was then poured off and more starch water was tipped in. At this stage the starch was still bitter, so it was mixed with water, allowed to settle and the clear water above was poured off several times removing this bitterness. When it tasted good, the paste was put onto a tile to dry over a fire. Some of it cooked and became small rubbery pieces of starch. The dry flour was stored in a pot. Some of this was then mixed into a paste and cooked on a tile like a pancake. It turned clear when cooked and has a rubbery texture. It tasted just like a rice noodle which is unsurprising considering the ingredients are nearly the same. Starch is the largest carbohydrate in the human diet. Polynesian arrowroot starch contains 346 calories per 100 g (wheat contains 329) and so the discovery of this staple food is fairly significant. It can be stored indefinitely if kept dry and away from weevils or can be stored as live tubers for six months (then they begin to sprout and should be planted). The live tubers bitterness means animals will not eat them which is good for storage. I may cultivate some in a small plot in the hills near where I dug them up. They are numerous in the wild but may produce more if the soil is tilled.
    About Primitive Technology:
    Primitive technology is a hobby where you build things in the wild completely from scratch using no modern tools or materials. These are the strict rules: If you want a fire, use a fire stick - An axe, pick up a stone and shape it - A hut, build one from trees, mud, rocks etc. The challenge is seeing how far you can go without utilizing modern technology. I do not live in the wild, but enjoy building shelter, tools, and more, only utilizing natural materials.

    That’s very similar to the cold water processing of Oak Tree acorns here in the US, long tedious process, but can come out quite good for flour. It won’t make that gelatinous mass once cooked however, more like a saltine cracker, or it can be used as regular flour to make tortillas and bread. Thanks John

      I feel like if he found a way to culture yeast (which in theory isn't hard because it's literally everywhere), and he felt like it, he might be able to make a sime bread with water, arrowroot flour, and the wild cultured yeast. Would it be good? Idk, if the simple arrowroot pancake he made was at least slightly palatable, it might work.

      Flatbreads are easy: starch, water, stone to heat it over, fire to put under or near the stone.
      Yeasted breads: read any website that has a sourdough starter. I'm not sure if you can generate a sourdough with a tuber starch or if it only works with grain starch.
      I would expect the tuber starch to work, but as Louis-Charles Clark said it wouldn't rise properly without gluten. (This is why gluten-free yeasted bread is so hard to make.)
      'Baking soda' bread: Get 1 edible acid. Get 1 edible base (alkali). Make sure the product of reacting the acid and the base is also edible and doesn't taste awful. Use them to make a 'vinegar and baking soda' volcano. Because that's fun.
      Then do a lot of experiments mixing your starch, water, acid and base and cook them. Once your bread is fluffy enough, or as fluffy as you can make it, you're done.
      Both the yeasted and the "baking soda" breads can be put in coals to cook for breakfast. If you're sticking to primitive-technology rules, just make a big lump and stick it in the coals. You peel off the burned outer casing and eat the inside.
      If you're not using primitive technology rules, use baking soda as your 'edible base', and yoghurt, sour cream, citrus fruit, vinegar, and anything else 'tangy' as your acid. (foraging for berries or fruit works under prim-tech rules.)
      You can probably use the 'pepper' or 'chili' family to be your acid, if you're brave.
      If you're not using prim-tech rules, wrap your bread in tinfoil or alfoil before sticking it in the coals.

    Still eaten in some remote parts of the Pacific. More of a Melanesian staple than a Polynesian one though and instead of arrowroot they extract starch from the Sago palm tree. Still very heartwarming to see something many Pacific Islanders eat brought to light on this platform! This method can be done with any starchy food including commonly found Potatoes and Unripe Green Bananas! Although don't do the taste test with Cassava (a relative of the Arrowroot which is why I kind of irked when I saw him taste it). Raw Cassava has enough cyanide to kill a full grown person in seconds lol. Fun fact this is also the same method that starch for tapioca pearls are used for those trendy bubble/boba teas that are popular in Asia.

    I had no idea how time-consuming it was to get starch. I never knew it was bitter until you rinse it, either. I've been binge-watching your videos for a couple days, now, and by far your channel is THE most useful when it comes to truly living off-grid or bushcrafting. It's interesting to see so many people stock up and prepare for disasters, yet dismiss the notion that one day soon we might indeed be reset globally to this kind of lifestyle. I grew up doing everything by scratch so that aspect isn't new to me, but things like making starch from roots or fibers for making clothing are definitely more challenging. SO many people are going to be unprepared when the reset happens. I'm glad to see so many people are watching and learning from your videos. Thank you for sharing your knowledge of the land with us all. Even if we are not in your climate area, we can still benefit from the skills you teach.

For pure starch noodles, water and starch, drop in boiling water, and grin at little kids giggling over invisible noodles. This is an American Indian recipe.

    I don't mean this as a slight against you, but these videos make great sleep aids. When I can't fall asleep, I watch either this or the original charcoal mound video, and I am soothed by the gentle nature sounds (not to mention the lack of your talking. To me, sounds and not visuals are much more distracting. I mute commercials, if I can.) But I look forward to your next videos!

    I grow Canna Indica, which is also processed for its starch (in commercially produced arrowroot, some of it is often canna) .. I don't process it, though .. just peel the tubers, slice or cube, and add to soups and sir fried vegetables. The flavor is very much like potato, but with a small amount of dietary fiber that really gives one that 'full' feeling. Enough calories in a 2'x4' patch to feed a person for 5 days, and the flowers are edible, too.

  • @nomad1160

    You can also use arrowroot in making gravies for cooking. As a thickener.

    I know you probably don't do requests, but could I ask more about primitive chemistry? My favourite videos are the ones where you use materials as glazes, or treatments, or otherwise ingredients for reasons that now make sense to us but at the time were just trial and error. It's so satisfying, watching you find the best natural source of the iron you need, or the clay you'll need, etc.
    Cheers!

    In Brazil we use this starch gum from cassava. We call it "TAPIOCA" and it is culturally used for breakfast instead of bread.
