Xian Ren Tou Slices (Dried Radish Shell) — Sulfur-Free Bulk Food Herb, 500g

Xian Ren Tou Slices (仙人头), also known in folk herbal tradition as Ku Luo Bo (枯萝卜) or Qi Luo Bo (气萝卜), are the dried, sulfur-free slices of radish shell — the fibrous outer layer of the mature radish — long valued in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) food culture as a gentle, qi-moving food herb. Its nature is considered sweet, pungent, and neutral-to-slightly-warm, making it a mild yet effective ingredient traditionally associated with soothing the Middle Burner, easing digestion, and supporting the smooth flow of qi. Sold as a bulk edible agricultural product in 500g packs, it is a practical pantry herb for daily soups, teas, and slow-cooked broths.

Quality & Sensory

Each batch is carefully dried to preserve its pale tan to light amber color, fibrous yet tender texture, and mild, faintly sweet radish aroma. When simmered, the slices soften and release a gentle, subtly earthy flavor with a light sweetness, adding depth to broths without overpowering other ingredients. The dried slices themselves are crisp and slightly leathery, with a clean, sulfur-free character that keeps the natural taste of the radish shell intact.

As a tea, it is brewed alone or blended with other mild food herbs for a light, subtly sweet infusion that fits easily into everyday meals.
