Peach Gum (Prunus persica Resin) — Dried Tao Jiao Food Herb, 500g Yunnan Origin

Peach Gum, known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Táo Jiāo (桃胶) and poetically called Peach Blossom Tears (桃花泪), is the dried resin exuded from the bark of the peach tree (Prunus persica). For centuries it has been treasured as a gentle, yin-nourishing food herb used in sweet soups, congee, and daily beauty tonics. Its nature is sweet, neutral, and slightly cooling, making it a mild yet replenishing ingredient for moistening dryness and supporting fluid balance.

When simmered, they release a delicate, mildly sweet taste that lends a silky body to sweet soups and congee without overpowering companion ingredients.
