PROCESSING

The harvested material has to be processed before it is ready for marketing. Processing can be fully atomized, semi-automatic or manual depending on the extent of cultivation.

Washing 
The tubers are washed properly and disinfected and the healthier fingers are detached from the crown for peeling.

Peeling 
The skin of the tubers is removed manually with special types of knives to save the precious part of the tubers.

Drying 
The peeled fingers are dried in green houses providing controlled sunlight to obtain better quality of dried Musli. The result is 20-25% of the original wet tubers.

Grading 
The dried fingers are graded on the basis of color and size.

Packing  The dried and graded Musli is packed in air-tight bags as per requirements.
