Kunming Pea Flour

Kunming Pea Flour

　　  Pea flour is a highly favored coarse grain product among the people of Yunnan. It is made by hulling and splitting dried peas, soaking them in water, then grinding them into a slurry with added water. The mixture is filtered and simmered into a paste, which is then cooled until it solidifies. With a delicate and smooth texture, a golden-yellow hue, and a distinctive fragrant taste from the peas, it can be shaped with knife skills and cooked either hot or cold. Peas are sweet in flavor and slightly cooling in nature. They help tonify the middle energizer, benefit qi, and aid detoxification. Suitable for conditions such as difficulty urinating, abdominal distension, diabetes, and blocked lactation in women. (Kunming)
