$6.55 – $8.98Price range: $6.55 through $8.98
Description
Sweet Almond Kernels (Prunus dulcis var. dulcis), known in Chinese as Tián Xìng Rén (甜杏仁) and traditionally called Běi Xìng Rén (北杏仁) in food-herb practice, are the peeled, sun-dried seed kernels of a revered food-herb (药食同源) botanical. For centuries, sweet almond kernels have been prized as a moistening, qi-lubricating, and Lung-nourishing food herb, used in congee, soups, and blended drinks to support the throat, the breath, and the skin. Their nature is sweet, neutral, and gently moistening, making them a mild yet nourishing daily ingredient for the Lung and Large Intestine channels.

Quality & Sensory
Each batch is naturally sun-dried to preserve its creamy ivory color, smooth rounded shape, and clean, faintly nutty aroma. The kernels feel firm and dry to the touch, with a delicate papery skin fully removed. When blended into soy milk or simmered in congee, they release a soft, milky sweetness and a smooth, velvety body that carries other ingredients without overpowering them.
