Harvesting and processing

In order to ensure the quality of tributes, it is necessary to harvest them in time. Premature harvest affects yield; If the harvest is too late, it is easy to form cavities, increase crude fiber and decrease quality. The best harvest time is when the outer leaves of tribute plants are flush with the heart leaves. Because there are some differences in the maturity of individuals in the field, they should be harvested in batches and carried out in batches.

Choose sunny and breezy weather, remove the leaves and roots from the harvested fresh vegetables, cut the base into a cone shape, peel off the skin, cut off the hollow and white core parts, cut 2 ~ 4 knives longitudinally, cut into roughly uniform slender strips (with 1 ~ 2 cm left at the base), hang them on the north-south hanging rope, and air them for 2 ~ 3 days (long-term exposure to the hot sun will affect them)
