Peach gum is produced all over China. In terms of quality, the wild peach gum produced in Yunnan and Guizhou, which are located in the plateau area, is the highest. High-quality peach gum is amber in color without impurities, which means that the sunshine time is sufficient and the taste will be better. On the contrary, peach gum with more uneven quality has more impurities and looks darker in color.
In addition to making dessert, peach gum can also be used for making soup. Because of its soft and smooth taste, vegetarians can use it as a substitute for fish maw, which not only nourishes the face but also nourishes the stomach.
The price of peach gum on the market can vary widely, depending on two points:
1. ) Wild vs. Planting
Natural wild peach gum comes from old peach trees grown in the wild, without pesticides or chemicals to interfere with the growth, but the yield is small and the price is high.
The peach gum planted in the orchard comes from artificial planting in the orchard. In order to promote the production of peaches and drive away insects, pesticides and chemical fertilizers are indispensable, but they pose a threat to health.
2.) Degree of trimming
The market can be roughly divided into five levels, from the worst without trimming, the shape is like a chocolate popcorn ( brown black, irregular ) --> A small amount of manual trimming, like caramel-flavored popcorn ( amber, irregular ) - -> machine trimmed, oval or round ( bright amber, rounded ) This is the least recommended for eating, because most will be synthetic Peach gum, ingredients questionable --> Hand trimmed, oval or round, but still a little irregular ( coarse amber color ) --> Deep hand trimming, oval or round, is more rounded than normal trimming, but because it is hand trimmed by scissors, it got faceted surface, like an yellow diamond.
And our peach gum comes from wild old trees in the high mountains of Yunnan. It is deeply trimmed by hand after natural sun exposure. It is clean and free of impurities. Only about 1 catty can be selected from 10 catties of raw materials! It is not machine-polished which is full of impurities. Because it is trimmed by hand with scissors, each grain is multi-faceted like a gem. The peach gum is not a big one. It only depends on the length of the soaking time. The most important thing is to be clean, and there is no need to waste time cleaning. The rehydration rate of our peach gum is about 10 times, and it takes about 18-20 hours to rehydrate with water.
⚠️ food taboo
Because peach gum is high in fiber and protein, people with weak digestive ability such as the elderly and children should not eat too much, otherwise it will easily lead to stomach discomfort. People with kidney disease should pay more attention, because eating too much protein can put a burden on the kidneys. In addition, although no research has pointed out that eating peach gum has side effects, because peach gum is a yin nourishing thing, it is not recommended for people with deficient constitution, pregnant women, and menstrual period.
