These selected medium-grade roots are grown in Fujian, a recognized daodi sourcing region, and finished by sun drying without sulfur fumigation. In TCM theory it is traditionally regarded as sweet and slightly bitter with a mild nature, associated with the spleen and lung channels. Traditionally used in soups, congee, and gentle decoctions, it is a popular choice for middle-aged and older adults.
