Wu Zhi Mao Tao & Fu Ling Pastry Bites (Radix Fici Simplicissimae & Poria) — No Added Colors or Preservatives, 200g

Wu Zhi Mao Tao & Fu Ling Pastry Bites combine two revered food-herbs of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) — Wǔ Zhǐ Máo Táo (五指毛桃, Radix Fici Simplicissimae) and Fú Líng (茯苓, Poria cocos) — into a baked, bite-sized pastry. Wu Zhi Mao Tao, often called the 'Southern Ginseng' of Lingnan folk tradition, is the dried root of Ficus simplicissima, prized as a gentle qi-supporting herb with a distinctive coconut-like aroma. Fu Ling is the dried sclerotium of Poria cocos, one of the most classic food-herbs in Chinese wellness culture, traditionally associated with calming the spirit and supporting the Spleen. Together they are baked into a crisp, layered pastry with no added artificial colors or preservatives, offering a convenient way to enjoy traditional herbal food culture in daily life.

Traditional Uses

In Lingnan folk herbal practice, Wu Zhi Mao Tao is simmered into soups and broths to support daily vitality, often paired with Fu Ling, Chinese yam, and jujube in family tonic soups. Fu Ling has long been used in congee, herbal teas, and traditional longevity formulas for its gentle, Spleen-supporting character. This pastry reinterprets that pairing in a modern baked form — a convenient way to bring the aroma and tradition of these two food-herbs into everyday snacking, without the need for decocting or cooking.
