Harvesting Kratom Leaves
Do you know how kratom goes from leaves to your favorite product? Probably not, but that’s okay. As you might guess, there are several intricate steps involved in turning the kratom into powder. While we don’t suggest that you do it at home, and it’s best to leave it to the professionals, it never hurts to learn more, right? Now, let’s jump into the wondrous world of kratom leaf harvesting.
The Right Time
Farmers must pick kratom leaves at a particular time to produce the best products. Once growers decide that the leaves are at their peak, they gather them and hang them out to dry. They can place them inside or outside in the sun. Depending on how the leaves are dried and how much sunlight they receive, the leaves have various alkaloid strengths. These factors influence the alkaloid strength, which is what gives kratom its potency.
Once the leaves are sufficiently dried, then the growers will grind them into the most appropriate consistency. Manufacturers then turn the dried leaves into bulk powders, extracts, capsules, and more. There you have it—that’s how kratom goes from the land to your hand.
