Zhaoqing Gorgon, also known as “Zhaoqing Red Gorgon", is named "Zhaoshi" because of its outstanding quality. Zhaoqing Gorgon is mainly produced in Zhaoqing, Guangdong. Cantonese people like to cook "Clearing and Tonic Soup" in summer or dry weather, and Gorgon is the main ingredient. Zhaoqing Gorgon production is only 1% of the national Gorgon output, but the quality is first-class, and it is popular product in the market.
Zhaoqing Gorgon has obvious characteristics. Its skin is dark brown with clear cricket patterns. After cooking, it will crack into a chrysanthemum shape, which is extremely loose and soft and has a sweet taste. In other places, the gorgon has only brown skin. It is said that this is due to the long planting time of Zhaoqing Gorgon, and the fruit is fully mature, while the gorgon in other places are lighter due to the short planting time.
Our Zhaoqing Gorgon comes from a natural fish pond in Zhaoqing. Because it grows naturally by the method of "Aquaponics", the fish deworms the Gorgon, and the fish dung is turned into fertilizer for the growth of gorgons, so there is no need to apply fertilizers and pesticides. Because it is wild, our gorgon size is smaller than ordinary ones, but its efficacy is higher than the planted ones; and there is no fuming sulfur and preservatives added in the drying process, which is natural, healthy and safe to eat!
