On this occasion I want to share again about the process of harvesting green acorns.
In the afternoon I was at my in-laws' house at my wife's friend's house.
That day I saw my in-laws harvesting green beans that were just ready to be harvested in their garden.
I will discuss the benefits of green acorns in my post.
Green beans are a plant that falls into the legume category. Green beans have many benefits in everyday life, namely as a source of food that has a high source of vegetable protein. Green beans can be processed with various types of food such as porridge, onde-onde filling and others, and can also be used as snacks such as peanut brittle. Handling green beans aims to get green bean results that meet expectations. So, in order to get green beans with good results, post-harvest handling is necessary according to procedures. This handling aims to protect harvest commodities from unwanted changes during the storage process. Undesirable things include shoot growth, root growth, bent stems, wrinkled fruit, tough pods, green sweet potatoes, too ripe, and so on.
Here's How to Harvest and Post-Harvest Handling of Green Beans:
- Harvesting is carried out if the pods break easily or are black in color.
- The harvesting process is best in the morning or evening, this is to avoid the pods breaking.
- Before the bean seeds are separated from the skin, the harvested pods are dried in the hot sun.
- When it is declared dry, the pods are peeled by putting them in a sack. Then hit the sack using wood covered with rubber.
- After being separated from the skin of the pod, the seeds are winnowed to separate them from the skin and other dirt.
- Clean seeds can be dried again in the sun until dry, then store them.
