Description
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). For generations, Tao Jiao has been treasured as a gentle, yin-nourishing food herb, traditionally used to moisten dryness, support fluid balance, and promote a supple, well-nourished constitution. Its nature is sweet, neutral, and slightly cooling, making it a mild yet deeply hydrating ingredient for soups, sweet broths, and daily beauty-focused tonics.

Quality & Sensory
Each batch is machine-polished and water-washed to preserve its translucent amber-to-honey color, smooth glassy texture, and clean, faintly resinous aroma. The large 1.4 cm granules are uniform and easy to handle. After soaking, they swell into soft, jelly-like pieces with a pleasant chew; when simmered, they yield a silky, mildly sweet broth that thickens naturally without overpowering companion ingredients.
