How do you turn fresh cassava into Attieke—the popular cassava couscous widely enjoyed in Côte d'Ivoire and across West Africa?

Moving from traditional manual methods to modern mechanized production requires a continuous, hygienic workflow. Henan Jinrui presents the complete 7-step attieke processing workflow using modern cassava processing equipment:

The 7 Essential Steps of Modern Attieke Processing:

1. Cleaning & Washing: A dedicated paddle washer thoroughly removes dirt and impurities from fresh cassava roots.

2. Peeling: The high-efficiency cassava peeler removes both the outer mahogany bark and inner thick skin seamlessly.

3. Grinding / Crushing: A specialized particle grinder breaks down cleaned cassava into fine, uniform pulp.

4. Controlled Fermentation: Cassava pulp is left to ferment naturally for 2–3 days to develop the iconic tangy flavor of authentic attieke.

5. Hydraulic Dewatering: A heavy-duty hydraulic press efficiently squeezes out excess moisture from the fermented mash.

6. Granulation: The specialized granulator transforms the semi-dry cassava cake into loose, uniform couscous grains.

7. Steaming & Cooking: An industrial electric steamer rapidly cooks the grains, producing fluffy, shelf-stable, ready-to-eat attieke.
