Tao Ren (Peach Kernel, Semen Persicae) — Peeled Dried Herb, Food-Herb Seed for Decoction & Powder

Tao Ren (Semen Persicae) is the dried, peeled seed kernel of the peach tree, known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Táo Rén (桃仁). For centuries, Tao Ren has been prized as a blood-quickening, stasis-dispelling herb traditionally used to support smooth circulation, ease menstrual discomfort, and moisten the intestines. Its nature is bitter, sweet, and neutral, with a gentle yet penetrating character that makes it a foundational ingredient in classical formulas and everyday food-herb cooking alike.

Quality & Sensory

Each batch is carefully peeled and dried to preserve its pale ivory to light tan color, smooth surface, and faint nutty aroma. The kernels feel firm and dry to the touch, with a subtle oily sheen from their natural oils. When decocted, they yield a mild, slightly bitter infusion with a gentle nut-like undertone; when ground into powder, they release a warm, earthy fragrance that blends easily into teas, congee, and soups.
