A Detailed Guide to Harvesting and Processing Methods for Schisandra (Schisandra chinensis)
Harvest from late August to early October, picking as they ripen. For processing, they can be sun-dried or oven-dried; keep the room temperature at 60°C, and when the schisandra berries are half-dry, lower the temperature to 40-50°C; when they are 80% dry, move them outdoors to sun-dry until fully dry, then rub off the fruit stalks and pick out the black berries before storing them in the warehouse.
