Abstract: In response to the problems that fresh Gastrodia elata had a short storage time and limited fresh consumption, which affected the development of the Gastrodia elata industry, relevant research was conducted. Fresh Gastrodia elata was classified and sold according to origin, and the water - boiling method for origin grading processing was adopted; dried Gastrodia elata products were classified and sold. The results showed that fresh Gastrodia elata could be divided into four categories, which needed to be cleaned before water boiling, and could be boiled in two levels and dried in four grades; the market price of dried Gastrodia elata in April 2025 was 130-170 yuan/kg. After a single Gastrodia elata was made into dried products, it could be divided into five categories, and flaky dried products could be divided into three grades. The water - boiling method was simple and easy to operate, and it was suitable for consumer groups such as fresh consumption and medicinal use. It was necessary to strengthen the promotion and application.
