Farm to Kitchen
Harvest Time (8-10 months): When the ginger matures, its stems wilt and leaves turn yellow. Farmers carefully dig up the plant and separate the prized knobby underground "roots" from the leaves.
Washing Away Dirt: Freshly harvested ginger gets a thorough wash to remove any dirt before the next step.
Sun Drying (Traditional): To preserve the ginger, farmers spread the washed and possibly peeled ginger in thin slices on mats or platforms. The sunshine naturally dries the ginger over several days (weather permitting).
