updates about muslin cloth

Hello people!

I've found something about Muslin Cloth!! We can order in online if we really really want it. But I think it's just a plain cloth though. I want to post the picture of it but I guess blogger is giving problems (as usual). So I guess you all have to take a look at it yourself. Simply just click the link below. That will do the trick. It will just take 1 min. I promise.

Besides that, I guess I've found the answer to Aliza's Golden question to Why we need to sun dry for like 1 pathetic week?

Basically, If there is moisture, there is tendency to grow molds? I guess so. That's why we need to dry it and really SUN DRY it for 1 week. Oh! and 1 week is because a typical ginger need at least 1 week to reach a moisture content of 7.8% to 8.8%, which is the standard percentage for drying the ginger.

There is another part about storing the Ginger too. I hope you guys take a look at it. Again, I've print screen the website to post it here but I just can't post pictures right now. (Blogger problems, again) So! do take note on part 2.2 Washing, "killing", drying and also 2.4 Storage in this website here.
