- 【About】 This product is also known as qi-ye-yi-zhi-hua. It consists of the dried rhizomes of Paris polyphylla Smithvar.yunnanensis, a plant in the Liliaceae family. It is harvested and naturally sun-dried, allowing the starch inside the rhizome to remain loose. The cross-section appears white, flat, and highly floury, commonly referred to as "floury Paris rhizome." If it undergoes high-temperature steaming during processing, the starch tightly binds and hardens upon cooling and drying; its cross-section then becomes translucent and horn-like, hard, and highly difficult to break, which is commonly called "colloidal Paris rhizome."
