Know about Harvesting of Spices

The production of spices is restricted to tropical regions. Each spice needs different climatic conditions, manure, pest control treatment, soil conditions, irrigation, etc. Spice farming needs harvesting of spice seeds. Generally the harvesting of spice seeds is done in the following manner.

To harvest the seeds from the spice plants, the plant must have flower. Then the stems of the flowers having seeds should be tied together in to bundle. This bundle should be hanged upside down. The ending of the bundle should be covered by a bag, so that when seeds are dried they are directly collected in to the bag. But even on drying some seeds tend to remain attached to stems, to remove these seeds, one has to rub the stems in a large bowl. As these seeds will be contaminated with chaff and other debris, they have been passed through a fine sieve, so that only seeds are collected.

After collecting the seeds like this, one can be ready for the spice farming. As spices are restricted geographically, there arises the need to go for spices online. Due to easy availability of spices at affordable rates, it is advised to buy spices online.
