Before introducing the drying method of cauliflower, we must first mention the picking problem of cauliflower, because only the timely picked cauliflower can ensure the quality of the dried products. We should select the full development and maturity of the flower buds of broccoli, but they have not been picked before opening. The time is generally between 11:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. if there is a rainy day, the opening time of the flower buds will be earlier. At this time, we can pick them in advance. After picking the flower bud, soak it in boiling water for a few minutes, until the color of the flower becomes light, then take it out and let it cool naturally. At last, we can do it.
The first step is to set up the shelf for drying broccoli. The height of the shelf is about 30cm to 60cm. Then, spread the chairman or drying plate on the shelf. Then you can put the flower buds of Processed Broccoli on it. Be sure to spread them out evenly. The thickness is about two or three meters, and turn them over in two or three hours. In the evening, pay attention to collect the broccoli and cover it with cloth to prevent the dried broccoli from getting damp again. Generally, it should be dried until the cauliflower is pinched tightly, loosened and then naturally stretched, and the flower buds will not stick together. In case of continuous cloudy weather, 5% sulfur can be used to steam and fumigate to prevent the Yellow broccoli from rotting.
Generally, about five kilograms of processed cauliflower can be placed on each square baking plate. In the early stage of drying, the water content of cauliflower is still relatively large. You can adjust the temperature of the drying room to between 80 ° C and 85 ° C before putting cauliflower. After that, you can reduce the temperature to 60 ℃ to 65 ℃, bake for 12 to 15 hours, and then slowly reduce it to 50 ℃, until the broccoli is completely dry. In order to prevent the cauliflower from being burnt by baking, change the baking plate in time, and turn it regularly to ensure that the drying degree of cauliflower is the same
