Its nature is sweet, bland, and neutral, making it one of the most balanced and widely used herbs in Chinese food therapy. This batch is sourced from Yuexi in Anhui Province, a classic growing region, and is carefully selected as all-white center-cut cubes with no sulfur treatment.

Quality & Sensory
Each batch is carefully cut and dried to preserve its clean ivory-white color, firm yet slightly chalky texture, and faint, mild earthy aroma. The cubes are uniform center-cut pieces with no dark edges or sulfur odor. When simmered, they soften gradually and release a subtle, neutral taste that absorbs the flavors of the broth around them, adding body and a smooth, starchy mouthfeel without overpowering other ingredients.
