Select Tian Horse Hoof

Last updated 2026-11-09 —  Select Tian Horse Hoof is named after Xuantian Village in Zhaiwu Town, where it is produced. Horse hoof, scientifically known as water chestnut, is an herbaceous plant that thrives in shallow, sandy fields. The Xuantian area meets these essential conditions. Introduced from the suburbs of Guangzhou in the early 1980s, it has been carefully cultivated and continuously improved through scientific management practices. After extensive promotion, it has been widely planted with excellent results: the produce is large in size, well-shaped, with thin skin, sweet and crisp flesh, and superior taste. When made into horse hoof powder, it is crystal-clear and snow-white; when steamed into pastries, they are bright, jade-like, smooth, fragrant, and refreshing to the palate, nourishing the lungs and clearing the heart. It is regarded as a premium dessert and enjoys widespread fame. Since 1994, villagers have jointly operated a horse hoof powder processing factory, processing over 1,000 tons of fresh horse hooves annually. The powder is rinsed and settled using water from the Caihongling Reservoir, resulting in particularly pure and white quality. The product is extremely popular.
