Peach Gum Tao Jiao 桃胶 Dried Resin Granules 500g for Dessert Soup and Herbal Drinks

Peach Gum, known in TCM as Tao Jiao (桃胶), is the naturally exuded dried resin of Prunus persica, collected from peach trees and sun-dried. These machine-ground, water-washed granules are a traditional botanical food valued in Chinese dessert soups and herbal preparations. In TCM theory, Tao Jiao is considered neutral in nature with a sweet flavor and is traditionally associated with nourishing the body. Soak thoroughly before simmering into sweet soups or paired with Snow Fungus and other botanicals.
