Description

Citrus Peel (Chen Pi)

Citrus peel, known as Chen Pi in traditional Chinese botanical terminology, refers to the dried peel of citrus fruits commonly associated with the Citrus genus. It is presented as a dried botanical material for anyone interested in traditional plant collections and botanical study. This material carries the distinct identity of Chen Pi, a widely recognized name in traditional Chinese botanical references.

Dried Citrus Peel Texture

The dried citrus peel has a wrinkled, textured surface with a deep orange-brown hue and a matte, slightly brittle feel. Its edges curl inward slightly, and the inner pith side shows a paler, spongy texture that contrasts with the rougher outer peel. Each piece retains the irregular, natural shape of the original citrus rind, with subtle variations in size and thickness.

Botanical Background

Citrus peel is associated with plants in the Rutaceae family, a large botanical group that includes many common citrus varieties. Chen Pi has a long history of recognition in traditional Chinese botanical systems, where aged citrus peel is noted as a distinct botanical material. It is commonly linked to various Citrus species, with specific identification varying by supplier.
