Star anise drying process

After being blanched in hot water, the star anise begins the drying process. After two days of drying, the star anise begins to slowly dehydrate and turn yellow. After 4 days of drying, the overall dryness of the star anise has reached 80%, and the color has basically turned into reddish brown.On the 6th day, the dryness and color have reached perfection and it can be stored in the warehouse to wait for customer orders. Of course, before shipping, we still have a lot of processes to do, such as removing excess leaves and petioles and screening out broken star anise.
