Beichuan Fern Shoots

　　Beichuan fern shoots, commonly known as Guangdong moss, are often referred to as "mountain delicacies." They are highly nutritious, rich in various vitamins, and offer multiple health benefits such as clearing heat and toxins, killing parasites, relieving pain, lowering blood pressure, and helping prevent gastrointestinal cancer. These wild herbaceous plants belong to the fern family and grow on slopes and in shrubbery at altitudes above 1,000 meters. Beichuan County enjoys exceptionally favorable natural conditions and boasts abundant resources.

　　 　　Dried fern shoots are processed from fresh ones. Since introducing foreign processing technology in 1976, Beichuan has produced high-quality dried fern shoots that have become popular as delicious dishes in households and restaurants. Meanwhile, they are also quite sought-after in the international market, being exported continuously to countries such as Japan and Southeast Asia, where they are highly favored by foreign buyers.
