Sangzhi Salted Dried Tofu and Kiwi Juice

　　“Sangzhi Salted Dried Tofu is a famous local specialty. During the Xianfeng reign of the Qing Dynasty, the salted dried tofu produced by the tofu industry in Sangzhi County was a bestseller in cities such as Changsha, Wuhan, and Guangzhou, earning widespread acclaim across Hunan and even being presented as a tribute to the imperial court, gaining fame in the capital. Modern scientific analysis has shown that the nutritional value of salted dried tofu is no less than that of milk, and it offers benefits such as clearing heat, moistening dryness, promoting saliva production, detoxifying, invigorating the spleen, aiding digestion, and reducing turbidity. As a result, people who enjoy eating salted dried tofu generally have smoother, more radiant skin, rarely suffer from acne, and maintain healthy digestive functions. This shows that salted dried tofu is also one of the excellent foods for beauty. The kiwis of Zhangjiajie can be said to absorb the essence of nature, and the ‘Kiwi Juice’ made from them is fresh, authentic, sweet, and delicious. Produced by the Hunan Natural Beverage Factory located in the kiwi hometown (Sangzhi County, Zhangjiajie City), the kiwi juice has won praise from domestic and international experts for its unique qualities and nutritional value.
