Detailed Explanation of Harvesting Methods and Primary Processing Techniques for Codonopsis pilosula
1. Harvesting and Storage of Codonopsis pilosula Seeds Although one-year-old Codonopsis pilosula plants can produce a small amount of flowers and seeds, many of the seeds are shriveled and do not easily sprout after sowing, or the seedlings that emerge are weak in growth, so they are not suitable for seed use. Two- to three-year-old Codonopsis pilosula plants produce more flowers and seeds, with plump grains, high yield, and good quality, and the seedlings grown from them are robust, making them suitable for seed use. Codonopsis pilosula seeds are generally harvested from September to October, when the fruits of two- to three-year-old Codonopsis pilosula turn yellowish-white and the seeds turn brown. After harvesting, dry them in the shade, place them in cloth bags or burlap bags, and store them at low temperature; the suitable temperature is below 10°C. 2. Codonopsis pilosula

A Detailed Guide to the Harvesting Standards and Processing Methods for Goji Berries
1. Harvesting requirements: Medicinal goji berries (Lycium barbarum) ripen successively from June to November and should be harvested at the right time.

If picked too early, the fruit is not plump and its color after drying is dull; if picked too late, the sugar content is too high and the fruit easily drops off, becoming dark purplish-black after sun-drying or oven-drying (commonly known as oil seeds) and losing its commercial value. Picking is best done after 10 a.m. on a clear day. Never pick fruit after rain or when covered with dew. Handle it gently when picking and remove it together with the fruit stalk.
