Peach Kernel (Semen Persicae) — Peeled, Hand-Selected Tao Ren for Decoction & Soup

Peach Kernel (Semen Persicae) is the dried, peeled seed of the peach tree, known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Táo Rén (桃仁). Revered for centuries as a blood-quickening, stasis-dispelling herb, Tao Ren has been prized in classical formulas for moving blood, easing abdominal fullness, and supporting smooth circulation. Its nature is bitter, sweet, and neutral, with a gentle yet penetrating character that makes it a foundational herb in both medicinal decoctions and traditional food therapy.

Quality & Sensory

Each batch is carefully peeled and hand-selected to preserve its pale ivory to light tan color, smooth surface, and firm, slightly oily texture. The kernels carry a mild, faintly nutty aroma. When decocted, they yield a gentle, subtly bitter infusion that softens into a mild, earthy flavor, blending smoothly with other herbs in a formula.
