Quality & Sensory

Each batch is carefully sliced and low-temperature baked to preserve its creamy ivory color, firm yet smooth texture, and mild, subtly sweet earthy aroma. The slices are clean and uniform, free of sulfur fumes or harsh chemical odor. When simmered or decocted, they soften into a tender, slightly starchy consistency and yield a gentle, naturally sweet infusion that adds body and quiet nourishment to broths and teas.
