Herb, Seed, and Grain Drying Methods at Crops Kingdom Farm and Factory
Marketing Description:
At Crops Kingdom, we don’t just focus on farming; we pay special attention to every step after harvest, with drying being the most crucial. It is the process that determines the final product’s quality and preserves its natural and nutritional properties. In this article, we reveal how we dry herbs, seeds, and grains according to the highest global standards.
Harvesting at the Optimal Time
Every successful drying process begins with precise harvesting at the right time:
We determine the harvest time based on the crop’s maturity and the highest concentration of essential oils.
We ensure minimal time between harvesting and the drying phase to preserve the raw material’s vital properties.
Pre-Drying Sorting
Before entering the drying phase, a preliminary sorting process is conducted, which includes:
Removing impurities and damaged or excess leaves.
Sorting crops by size or type to ensure uniform drying.
Drying Methods Used
A) Solar Drying
We use this method for delicate herbs and seeds:
Conducted in shaded, well-ventilated areas to ensure slow and safe drying.
Herbs are spread on elevated mesh tables to allow air circulation from all sides.
B) Air Drying
This method is used inside closed units with strong ventilation:
Used to maintain the natural color and aroma, particularly for aromatic plants.
C) Mechanical Drying
Performed at the Crops Kingdom Factory using precise temperature and humidity control devices:
The temperature remains steady and does not exceed the limit that could damage essential oils.
Suitable for seeds and grains such as cumin, coriander, fenugreek, fennel, and others.
Quality Control During Drying
Throughout the drying process, each batch of products is monitored by:
Sensors that continuously measure temperature and humidity.
Periodic tests to evaluate texture, color, and aroma.
Electronic tracking for every stage to ensure traceability and total quality assurance.
Post-Drying Sorting and Packaging
Once the drying is complete:
The herbs and seeds are sifted to remove any remaining impurities.
They are packed in special moisture-resistant containers to protect them during storage and transportation.
They are stored in a sealed environment inside the Crops Kingdom factory warehouses to maintain quality for the longest possible period.
Drying as Part of Our Brand Reputation
We believe that drying is not just a technical step, but a crucial process that affects:
The product’s shelf life.
The intensity of aroma and flavor.
The commercial and export value of each kilogram packed.
Conclusion
At Crops Kingdom, we dry herbs, seeds, and grains as if we’re preserving a natural treasure. Every degree of temperature, every minute of drying, and every airflow is carefully calculated to deliver a product that is rich, pure, and fresh — as if you picked it yourself.
