Bai Zhi Slices (Angelica dahurica) are the dried root slices of a traditional food herb known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Bái Zhǐ (白芷). Also called Dahurian Angelica Root, Bai Zhi has been prized for centuries as a warming, wind-dispelling herb used to open the nasal passages, ease the head, and brighten the complexion. Its nature is warm and pungent, making it a fragrant, gently stimulating herb for both culinary and daily wellness use.

Quality & Sensory

Each batch is carefully dried and sorted to preserve its pale cream-to-light-tan color, firm yet sliceable texture, and distinctly aromatic, slightly peppery fragrance. When simmered or brewed, the slices release a warm, pungent, faintly sweet note that lifts broths and infusions without overpowering other ingredients.
