CHARIKAR in central Parwan province have improved their financial position by drying, processing and selling different vegetables.
The women collect menthe pulegium, celery, mint, garlic leaves, dill and other stream side vegetables without paying a penny. Then they process and dry them for sale.
Besides enhancing food taste, the green vegetables offer medical advantages. Some women in Jabalus Saraj and Syedkhel districts have been trained on processing and drying such plants.
Parwan women say they dry vegetables in a room made of plastic . . .
