Chili harvesting times vary by region. Fresh chilies are now available, so before they become available in large quantities, let's share tips on how to pick them. What are some common techniques? What should you pay attention to?
Chili Harvesting Tips:
1. Harvest green chilies promptly. Harvesting too early results in thin skins, light weight, poor flavor, and a tendency to wilt. Harvesting too late can cause the seeds to consume more nutrients during development, leading to seed drop and impacting upper fruit development.
2. When harvesting chilies, observe the plant's growth. Harvest weaker plants early to promote growth. Delay harvesting stronger plants to prevent excessive growth.
3. Harvest chilies in the morning when temperatures are low and basket them immediately after harvesting. The lower temperatures slow respiration, keeping the chilies fresh and tender during transportation.
4. Harvest the front peppers early, and wait until the top peppers have reached their maximum size.
5. Pepper stems are brittle and easily broken, so special care should be taken during harvesting to prevent any breakage.
We all know that peppers should be harvested in stages, but there's another important point to keep in mind: when harvesting peppers destined for market after drying, be extremely careful not to damage the surface, which could compromise the integrity of the fruit. After all, many consumers today judge peppers by appearance, and a high-quality appearance is crucial for ensuring pepper quality.
For peppers destined for drying, contact pepper production and processing companies in advance for prompt purchase, or prepare your own pepper drying machine for drying. This will ensure optimal customer returns.
