Vegetable harvesting is the process of gathering mature vegetables from the fields or gardens. This activity typically occurs during specific seasons when vegetables are ripe and ready for consumption. Farmers and gardeners use various tools, such as knives, scissors, or even machinery, to efficiently collect the crops. After harvesting, the vegetables are often cleaned and sorted based on size and quality. Proper handling is essential to prevent damage and spoilage. Once sorted, the vegetables can be packaged for sale or stored for later use, ensuring that they remain fresh and nutritious for consumers.
