Authentic Wild Tibetan Fritillaria (Chuan Bei Mu) – 50g
This product comes directly from local villagers in Zayü County, Nyingchi City, Tibet, at an altitude of 4,300 meters on the Demula Mountain range. The fritillaria bulbs are hand-harvested by a Tibetan villager named Tashi, who searches through high-mountain rhododendron bushes to find naturally grown plants.
Wild Tibetan fritillaria is extremely rare due to overharvesting and slow regrowth in high-altitude environments. The bulbs vary naturally in shape and size, and each piece is manually dug out from the mountain soil. Compared with lower-altitude fritillaria from regions like Sichuan (typically 1500 meters lower), Tibetan wild specimens are considered more unique and sought after.
Each harvest session yields only a limited amount, making this product both valuable and authentic.
Usage (Traditional Culinary Use)
Wild fritillaria bulbs can be gently crushed or ground into powder and used in traditional steamed fruit preparations. A common method is steaming 2–3 grams with pear, a small amount of water, and natural sweeteners such as honey. After steaming for 30–40 minutes, the pear and fritillaria are mashed together and consumed as a traditional culinary preparation.
Freshly harvested fritillaria has high moisture content and a naturally bitter taste, characteristic of wild-grown bulbs.
