I am trying to educate myself more about tobacco production. Does anyone know of a good website or article that compares and contrasts the fermentation of tobacco vs pasteurizing it.
So far it sounds like to ferment tobacco you bundle it and allow it to sit and almost let dry up and rot a little (Green leaf to brown leaf) vs. pasteruization where the tobacco is washed and heated at a consistent temperature to kill the bacteria. If this is the case then why is snus tobacco dark brown vs. green?
