Post-Harvest Process

Eight photographs following vanilla after harvest: fresh pods, drying, laying out, and packing into boxes.

Vanilla beans laid out in rows on a green tarpaulin during drying.

Summary

This page arranges the post-harvest photographs in the order the archive shows: dark green fresh pods, drying on a tarpaulin and on mesh racks, laying out for inspection, then packing into blocks inside cardboard boxes.

The sequence is drawn from what the photographs show. The project archive carries no dates, stage durations or temperatures, so none are written here.

Documentation photographs

  • Fresh dark green pods handled with a glove. A digital scale sits on the table; its reading is not legible in this frame.
  • Beans laid out in rows on a green tarpaulin during the drying stage.
  • Beans arranged on a mesh rack so air can move underneath them.
  • A closer view of the beans on the same mesh rack.
  • Beans lined up on a white surface for inspection.
  • Plastic-wrapped blocks of beans arranged inside a cardboard box.
  • A closer view of the same blocks inside the carton.
  • Three blocks with visibly different colouring in one box. The photograph shows a difference in appearance between blocks, not an official grading.

Video documentation

  • Footage of the handling and drying stage of the beans.
