If you want to make fresh osmanthus flowers into dried flowers without blackening, you only need two pieces of white paper. Put the flowers on a piece of paper, cover them with another piece of paper, and put them in a cool and dry place, so as to keep the yellow of osmanthus fragrans all the time and not turn black.

It is best not to touch the osmanthus flowers directly during drying, because the oil on your hands will make the flowers black. It should be noted that the picked fresh osmanthus fragrans should be packed in breathable bamboo baskets, and the height should not exceed 1 m, otherwise it will destroy the fresh osmanthus fragrans.

How to preserve osmanthus?

1, and keep it in a fresh-keeping bag.

First, pick out some dirty things in osmanthus, put high-quality osmanthus into fresh-keeping bags, and then seal them to avoid contact with air. After sealing, put it in the freezer for refrigeration. This method can be kept for a period of time and will not change.

2, natural air drying

First of all, we should deal with the picked osmanthus, pick out the bad ones, leave the good ones, then wash them with water, put them in gauze to squeeze out the water, then put them in a ventilated place to dry directly, and then add them to some foods after drying, such as honey, which is a very good choice, not only to keep fresh, but also to increase the fragrance of honey.

3. Pickling and preservation

The sweet-scented osmanthus just picked has a very pleasant aroma. If you want to preserve it, you can choose another way to preserve it, that is, pickling. Simply treat it first, wash it clean, then drain it, then squeeze it with gauze to squeeze out all the excess water.

Finally, add some sugar and stir well, then put it in a container for pickling. Generally, it will last for about three to five days, thus making osmanthus, which is not only delicious, but also can be preserved for a long time.
