Peach Gum (Prunus persica Resin) — Dried Edible Peach Tree Gum, 500g Food-Grade

Peach Gum (Prunus persica) is the dried, sun-cured resin exuded from the bark of the peach tree, known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Táo Jiāo (桃胶). Long honored as a gentle, yin-nourishing food herb, Tao Jiao has been prized in folk kitchens and herbal tonics for its ability to moisten dryness, support fluid balance, and lend a silky, collagen-like body to sweet soups and teas. Its nature is sweet, neutral, and mildly cooling, making it a soft yet deeply nourishing ingredient for everyday wellness cooking.

Quality & Sensory

Each batch is naturally sun-dried to preserve its translucent amber-to-honey color, glassy texture, and faintly sweet, resinous aroma. The pieces are firm and clean, ranging roughly 0.6–0.8cm in size. After soaking, they swell into a soft, jelly-like consistency; when simmered, they release a smooth, silky mouthfeel with a mild, subtly sweet taste that carries other ingredients beautifully without overpowering them.

Traditional Uses

In folk herbal practice, Tao Jiao is soaked overnight, then simmered into sweet soups with ingredients like snow fungus, lotus seed, goji berry, and rock sugar, or brewed into gentle daily teas. It is a beloved ingredient in autumn and winter nourishment, where it is cooked into congee and longevity-style tonics to support moisture and a supple, well-nourished feeling. In many households it is simply stewed with jujube and wolfberry for a light, comforting dessert broth.
