Each piece is carefully core-removed and sun-dried to preserve its warm brownish-yellow color, firm yet slightly flexible texture, and mild earthy-sweet aroma. The flesh is thick and uniform, with the woody core cleanly extracted. When decocted or simmered in soup, it releases a gentle, subtly sweet and warming flavor that blends smoothly with other tonic ingredients without overpowering the broth.
