The harvested Dinh Lang roots should be cleaned and the roots near the stem should be removed. If the roots are small, they can be used whole. For larger roots, the bark is usually removed.
The small Dinh Lang roots are thinly sliced and dried in a cool, well-ventilated place to preserve their quality and aroma.
