Harvest and Processing of Chrysanthemum morifolium
Because buds are formed continuously, they need to be harvested in stages. I went to light snow three times in 3-4 days before and after Independence Winter. Flowers should be picked when the petals are straight, the flower heart is completely scattered and the color is flawless. They should be picked on sunny days or after the dew dries in the afternoon. Don't use dew flowers, otherwise the flowers contain a lot of water, which is not easy to dry and rot. Single cropping can produce dried flowers 100- 120 kg per mu, and intercropping mulberry 70-80 kg.
After the flowers are picked, they are selected and graded, and then dried in the sun until they turn white.
Processing is divided into steaming and baking:
Steam flowers: put the dried flowers in a steamer, which should not be too thick, generally about 1 inch thick, and arrange the flowers face to face. Pay attention to the heat when steaming, be fierce and even. Keep the temperature in the cage at about 90℃ and steam for about 3 minutes. Then put the flowers on the bamboo curtain and expose them to the sun, with straw in the middle, so that they can be ventilated. After two days of sun exposure, turn them up and down until the flower heart is completely hardened.
Chrysanthemum baking: Huang Ju is usually the main method. Put the flowers on the clothes rack and bake them with charcoal fire until they are dry.
