Why Choose to Dry Chrysanthemums?

Chrysanthemums, renowned for their medicinal value and health benefits, have seen growing demand in the food and medicinal markets in recent years. To extend the shelf life of chrysanthemums while preserving their natural color, aroma, and medicinal properties, modern drying technology has become essential. A well-designed drying process not only enhances the market value of chrysanthemums but also promotes the development of the chrysanthemum industry.

After harvesting, chrysanthemums are evenly spread on drying racks and placed in drying equipment for processing. To retain the color and aroma of the petals, the drying temperature is controlled between 40°C and 50°C. With circulating hot air, moisture is gradually evaporated from the flowers, and the drying process usually takes 8 to 12 hours, with adjustments made based on flower size and moisture content.

With a scientifically managed drying process, dried chrysanthemums can retain their natural color, fragrance, and active ingredients, significantly enhancing their market competitiveness. Dried chrysanthemums are not only easier to transport and store over long periods but also widely used in teas, food products, and medicinal applications, meeting consumer demand for healthy food options.
