A farmer hangs raw mustard roots used as pickle materials on racks to dehydrate in Fuling District of southwest China's Chongqing, Jan. 22, 2015. In Fuling, a major pickle-producing area in China, farmers have begun harvesting mustard roots which were grown extensively to make the Zha Cai, a well-received pickle variety. The harvested mustard roots are hung on drying racks to dehydrate in the air: a technique believed to best preserve the crispness and aroma of the finished pickle products. (Xinhua/Liu Chan)
