I. Harvesting: Dig the bulbs after the above-ground stems and leaves of the plants have completely withered in the autumn of the second year after planting. Digging should preferably be done on a sunny day. When digging, remove the stems, fibrous roots and soil; select the small bulbs and keep them for seed, and store the large bulbs in a well-ventilated, cool place pending processing. II. Processing: First cut off the base of the bulbs, loosen the scales, put the scales into a basket and place them together in boiling water to cook for 5-10 minutes, until the edges of the scales are soft and very small cracks appear on the back side; then quickly scoop them out, wash off the mucilage in clean water, spread them out immediately to dry, and air-dry

If rainy weather occurs, they may also be dried over a heated kang. Store in a well-ventilated, dry place.
