Papaya with Snow Fungus and Peach Gum 木瓜银耳桃胶糖水

Lately I came across many bakers sharing their delicious peach gum dessert on Facebook group.  As I was curious about the taste, I too bought a bottle of the peach gum from the Chinese Medicine shop to make this healthy and nutritious Papaya with Snow Fungus and Peach Gum sweet soup. The peach gum is tasteless with a gelatin texture similar to the coveted Bird’s Nest but is very refreshing when served chilled. The cooking of this dessert is about 40 minutes but you have to spend sometime picking and clearing the peach gum.

According to a website, Peach gum is a light yellow sticky liquid produced by the chemical reaction of the peach oil naturally secreted by the peach tree, which is further dried and crushed into a solid granular, and is a light yellow transparent solid natural resin.  Benefits: Can clear blood fat, relieve stress and contain collagen for firmer skin and wrinkle rejuvenation effect.
