Odiyal Flour (Palmyrah Tuber Flour)

Odiyal flour is made from the tuber of the palmyrah palm. The Palmyrah Development Board says palmyrah is a traditional crop of Sri Lanka and a source of livelihood in the Northern and Eastern provinces. Its production page lists a tuber product and packaging centre at Karainagar in the Jaffna district. The board describes the process in one line: tubers are cleaned, sliced and dried to create flour. Its list of tuber based products has dried odiyal, odiyal round chips, odiyal flour and boiled odiyal flour. Both flours appear on its list of palmyrah export items. Newer products the board has developed from the flour include tuber flour cookies, tuber flour noodles and pizza dough. No particle size or colour is published, so ask for a specification. Odiyal flour is listed here as available on request, and packaging is available on request. Send the flour type (odiyal flour or boiled odiyal flour) and pack size, quantity, packing and destination port by email from the Contact page or the How to order page. Documents and test reports can be discussed for each order.
