Q: What is the best time to collect herbs?
Herbs should be collected in dry weather, after the dew has dried, and
before the sun has risen high in the sky;
Herbs should be collected right after the rain when moisture still remains
on the plant;
Herbs should be collected early in the morning before the dew has
dried; OR
Herbs should be collected on a humid day late at night.
Ans: #1; as a rule, herbs should be collected in dry weather, after the dew
has dried, and before the sun has risen high in the sky.
Q: Which statement about herb drying is correct?
The highest-quality dried herbs are obtained by drying under the direct
sunlight coupled with poor air circulation;
Plants containing volatile oils must be dried at temperatures exceeding
104°F;
Dry herbs directly in the sun if possible; OR
Generally, leaves, herbs, and flowers can be dried between 68°F and
104°F.
,Ans: #4; the highest-quality dried herbs are obtained by natural drying in
the shade, coupled with good air circulation. Plants containing volatile
oils must be dried at temperatures not exceeding 104°F. The oils
vaporize at higher temperatures, causing a loss of medicinal quality.
Generally, leaves, herbs, and flowers can be dried between 68°F and
104°F. Generally, barks and roots can be dried between 86°F and
149°F. Never dry herbs directly in the sun. Excessive heat destroys
volatile oils and removes much of the plant's color.
Q: The duration of drying depends on:
The plant parts being dried;
Whether the plant parts have high or low moisture content;
The drying temperature; OR
All of the above.
Ans: all of the above
Q: Which of the following statements explains the correct process for
gathering herbs?
Completely strip leaves, berries, and flowers from the plant;
Collect the parts even if you are unsure you correctly identified the
plant;
Harvest the parts you need and damage the rest of the plant; OR
Pick the parts you need gently without disturbing the plant.
Ans: #4; when collecting, be absolutely sure you have identified the plant
correctly and know which part of the plant to collect. Never

, completely strip a plant of leaves, berries, or whatever you are
gathering. Harvest only what you need, and use scissors so you do not
damage the rest of the plant. Each herb has its own characteristics:
Handle each accordingly. Some herbs are delicate and fine, while
others are sturdy and more resilient. As you are picking leaves, berries,
and flowers, do so gently so as not to disrupt or disturb the plant
unnecessarily.
Q: An exception to the rule of "gentle" wildcrafting can be made when
the plants being collected are classified as _____________.
noxious weeds;
endangered;
poisonous; OR
introduced
Ans: noxious weeds
Q: Plants that live for more than two years are called a/an __________.
annual;
biennial;
multiannual; OR
perennial
Ans: Perennial plants live for more than two years.
Q: Slow drying is used if:

, Enzyme action is encouraged;
Enzyme action is undesirable;
The plant contains volatile oils; OR
The plant contains toxic constituents.
Ans: #1; slow drying is only used if enzyme action is to be encouraged.
Q: A plant that has a long natural history in a particular ecosystem is
called ____________.
cultivated;
introduced;
naturalized; OR
native
Ans: native; a native plant has a long natural history in a particular
ecosystem; presumably its presence is due to natural ecological and
evolutionary forces as opposed to human intervention.
Q: Which statement correctly explains the purpose of drying herbs?
Herbs are dried to remove toxic constituents;
Herbs are dried to improve taste;
Herbs are dried to prevent spoilage; OR
Herbs are dried to enhance nutritional value.
Ans: #3; the purpose of drying botanicals is to remove all the water and
moisture from the plants; this prevents spoilage.
