Description

Qian Shi (Euryale ferox), also known as Gorgon Nut or Fox Nut and called Qiàn Shí (芡实) in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), is the dried mature seed of an aquatic food herb long revered in Chinese wellness culture. Sourced from Zhaoqing in Guangdong, this new-crop red Qian Shi is offered in the split two-half form traditionally called 'chicken-head rice' (鸡头米). Its nature is sweet, astringent, and neutral, making it a gentle, food-grade herb traditionally used to support the Spleen and Kidney, stabilize the essence, and nourish the body during daily meals.

Quality & Sensory

Each batch is sorted and dried to preserve its warm reddish-brown to pale ivory tone, firm rounded texture, and clean, faintly nutty aroma. The split halves are uniform and free of black spots or musty smell. When simmered, the seeds soften into a chewy, slightly starchy bite and release a mild, subtly sweet taste that blends quietly into broths and porridges without dominating other ingredients.
