Peach Gum

Peach gum is the resin from peach and Chinese wild peach trees.

In recent years, peach gum or peach resin has become a very popular sweet dessert in restaurants.

It is served together with white fungus, red dates, barley and even sago pearls in cold syrupy soup after a huge banquet.

The amber hued coloured gum is also called "the tears of peach blossom" . People like it a lot because it contains a lot of collagen.

Peach gum is the resin from peach and Chinese wild peach trees, already solidified when it is found. As detailed in classical Chinese medical literature, its curative qualities include solving urinal infections, thirst-quenching and relieving stress.
