After the completion of the drying phase, plants stalks with usable biomass are broken off of the main plant stalk and stored in totes where they undergo a cure “on the vine.”
The curing process is the last stage of the drying process, where the final moisture content is released very slowly and the chlorophyll and starch in the plants break down slowly.
This ensures a higher quality finished product, with a smoother burn and more pronounced flavors in the final product.
