Quality & Sensory

Each batch is carefully selected for large, plump, single-pod grains with a pale ivory to translucent amber color and a smooth, glossy surface. The dried kernels carry a faint, clean botanical aroma with no sulfur odor. When soaked and simmered, they swell into soft, gelatinous pearls that are silky and springy on the tongue, releasing a mild, subtly sweet taste that blends beautifully into sweet soups and congee.
