Peach Gum (Prunus persica Resin) — Machine-Washed Large-Grain Food Herb, 500g

Peach Gum (Prunus persica) is the dried, naturally exuded resin of the peach tree, known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Táo Jiāo (桃胶). Also called Peach Resin or Peach Blossom Gum, it has been prized for centuries as a gentle, yin-nourishing food herb used in sweet soups, congee, and daily beauty tonics. Its nature is sweet, neutral, and slightly cooling, making it a mild yet nourishing ingredient traditionally associated with moistening dryness and supporting fluid balance.

Quality & Sensory

Each batch is sun-dried and carefully water-washed to preserve its amber to honey-gold color, translucent glassy texture, and clean, faintly sweet resinous aroma. The large grains are uniform and free of visible debris. After soaking, the pieces swell into soft, jelly-like pearls with a smooth, springy bite; when simmered, they release a mild, neutral taste that absorbs the flavors of the soup or tea around them.

Traditional Uses

In folk herbal practice, Tao Jiao is soaked overnight and then simmered into sweet soups, congee, and gentle beauty tonics, often paired with snow fungus (雪燕),皂角米 (Chinese senna seed), goji berry, and jujube. It is a classic ingredient in daily nourishing bowls and seasonal slow-cooked soups, where it is valued for its soft, jelly-like texture and its traditional association with moistening dryness and supporting skin and fluid balance. As a tea, it is brewed with rock sugar and dried flowers for a light, subtly sweet infusion.
