Kithul flour is an innovative product from mature kithul palm trunk starch, extracted when trees reach productive life's end. Found in Ratnapura, Kegalle, and Matale wet zone forests, extraction requires specialized knowledge to process starchy interior into fine white flour. This ancient food source has sustained communities throughout history, with modern processing revitalizing interest as a gluten-free alternative.
Extraction involves splitting mature palm trunks and washing pith repeatedly to separate starch from fibrous material.
