Washing herbs before drying

[Kris NaillonStudent]

Should I wash herbs before drying? I harvested some sagebrush today and did not want to have it mold?

You can wash them if you’d like, when you go through the process of drying them you just want to make sure that everything gets good airflow. Mold happens when moisture gets trapped and festers

Do people typically wash plants before drying?

I don’t know, I never do
