How to dry wolfberries and how to store them without getting damp

1. How to dry

1. Ordinary drying: Steam the fresh wolfberries in a pot for about 5 minutes, then place them in a well-ventilated place to let them dry slowly in the shade. Be careful not to expose them to sunlight. When it is almost dry, move it under strong light for two or three days. After it is dry, package it as soon as possible. Make sure to seal it well to avoid moisture.

2. Drying: The drying method requires preparation of a drying room. Mix the picked wolfberries with alkaline water, place them on a tray, and then move them to the rack in the baking room. Pay attention to moving the bread up layer by layer, slowly increasing the temperature, and bagging it in time when it is completely dry. Do not bake it for too long, otherwise it will easily burn. This method is mostly used when there is little light and high humidity. Normally, it is recommended to use the ordinary drying method.

2. How to save

1. Refrigeration method: Place the processed and sealed wolfberries in a refrigerator or other refrigeration equipment at a temperature between 0-4 degrees. This way they can be preserved for a longer time and will not be affected by moisture.

2. Vacuum preservation in plastic bags: This method is also very commonly used. Put a sack filled with quicklime into a plastic bag, then put the processed wolfberries in, seal the mouth of the plastic bag, extract the air, and put it in a cool place. Be careful not to put too much lime in it.

3. Storage in mineral water bottles: prepare a few empty mineral water bottles, wash and dry them, pour the wolfberries in and cover the bottle caps tightly. Note that you must tighten the bottle caps after each use. This way, the storage time can be long and it is not easily affected by moisture.
