Iron Stick Yam Black Sesame Thin Biscuits 250g Gift Box Chinese Herbal Snack

Iron Stick Yam Black Sesame Thin Biscuits, known in TCM as Tie Gun Shan Yao (铁棍山药) and Hei Zhi Ma (黑芝麻), are a baked snack made from Dioscorea opposita and Sesamum indicum. This 250g gift box combines yam flour with black sesame for a crisp, lightly sweet biscuit. In TCM theory, yam is neutral and sweet, entering the spleen, lung, and kidney channels, while black sesame is traditionally associated with nourishing the liver and kidneys.

Traditional Uses

In TCM theory, Iron Stick Yam is traditionally used to support the spleen and stomach, while black sesame is associated with nourishing the liver and kidneys and moistening dryness. These biscuits are a modern snack form that incorporates both ingredients. They are commonly eaten as a convenient daily food rather than as a decoction or soup. Traditional pairings often combine yam with black sesame in congee or baked goods.
