Pueraria Powder

　　　Lianyungang Pueraria Powder is made by local mountain dwellers who gather wild pueraria roots from Mount Yuntai, clean and crush them, then rub and stir them in water to separate and settle the starch. The mixture is left to dry. The pueraria powder from Mount Yuntai is white and delicate, with golden specks. When mixed with warm water and prepared with boiling water, it becomes thick and semi-transparent, making one’s mouth water at the sight.
