About our Dried Peach Kernel
About
Dried Peach Kernel, or Tao Ren, is collected when the fruit ripens. The kernels can be an easy addition to herbal teas as part of a balanced routine. Simply add to boiling water to create a functional tea or soup.
Tao Ren has a light smell and a slight bitter taste and has been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for millennia.
All of our products are 100% natural and promote daily vitality!
Tao Ren is closely related to Dried Apricot Seeds (Xing Ren), and is often combined with Dried Hemp Seeds (Huo Ma Ren) in traditional preparations.
Potential Benefits
Balance: Tao Ren has long been included in traditional practices valued for overall balance.
Seasonal Use: This ingredient is commonly included in teas and soups during the colder months.
Traditional Blends: Dried peach kernel is often combined with other ingredients in long-established herbal preparations.
Natural Oils: The natural oils found in Tao Ren contribute to its smooth texture and have been valued in traditional use.
Distinctive: Its light aroma and slightly bitter character set it apart from the sweeter seeds in the range.
Recommended Dosage
We recommend around 5g per portion.
The kernels are usually crushed lightly before use, then simmered in water for twenty to thirty minutes and strained before drinking. They can also be added to soups and slow cooked dishes.
Tao Ren is traditionally used in brewed preparations rather than eaten raw or by the handful, and is not suitable during pregnancy. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking regular medication, speak to a healthcare professional before use.
Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
Why Choose Vita?
Every herb we sell at Vita Herbal Nutrition is non-sulphur treated and chosen for use in the kitchen and in traditional preparation.
We proudly offer a 100% sulphur-free range of herbs. While many others use sulphur to improve appearance and extend shelf life, we avoid this process because it can alter the herb’s natural composition and may trigger allergic reactions in some individuals.
We follow the DaoDi principle of choosing each herb from the area traditionally associated with it, and we have worked with the same supply partners since 2010.
