| Hi, You just have to slice the roots thinly, and dry them in a dehydrator or a warm oven. Cool and store in an airtight glass jar. Cheers, Dee. |

| I grate mine, then put them in a very thin layer on a Craftpaper covered cookie sheet and dry it in the sun. I like the smaller bit to use in making scent pots. |
