Product Description
Searching for a cai po with a flavor beyond just saltiness? Try our aged version with a natural umami taste, perfect for adding depth to soups. Plus, our radishes are grown pesticide-free with your health in mind.
Our farmer friend in Miaoli, Taiwan grows white radish using natural farming methods without pesticides. Aged for 7 years, these white radish turns into slivers of black gold. Each packet of these aged treasures emits a fragrance that whets your appetite. Add a few slices of this to your chicken soup to make it a soup fit to lift your soul.
Plump white radish is washed and cleaned before smothered in salt for the pickling process to start. According to the village’s age-old recipe, each piece of salted radish is placed under a rock. The weight of the rock squeezes out moisture of the radish. After a day, the rock is removed, radish is flipped and the rock placed on top of the radish again.
After a few cycles of flipping and sweating under pressure, the radish is then allowed to bask in the sun for a couple of days, before it goes for yet another round of salt spa to complete the pickling process. This manual cycle of activities could take up to a year, and is repeated until the moisture is completely extruded from the radish. The radish is then allowed to age gracefully for 7 years, before she is packed and sent to the stores.

產品介紹
陳放七年老蘿蔔乾（老菜脯），甘甜有味
在苗栗灣寶以自然栽培的蘿蔔製作成蘿蔔乾，陳放七年時間，顏色黑金油亮，散發濃濃香氣，老蘿蔔乾非常適合煮雞湯，只要加入老蘿蔔乾就能讓整鍋湯甘甜升級，有畫龍點睛效果。
以好吃的新鮮蘿蔔製成
蘿蔔乾要好吃，蘿蔔是重要主角。以自然栽培兩個月後，蘿蔔長得白白胖胖，將蘿蔔清洗，削掉曝曬到太陽的、或裂開的地方，開始進行醃漬，加粗鹽。遵循古早做法放重石壓出蘿蔔裡的苦水。壓一天，將蘿蔔翻面再壓一天。接著用太陽日曬幾天後，再次醃漬。
過程完全憑手工的經驗，就這樣重複醃漬、天然日曬的步驟直到蘿蔔水分去除。
等待數個月至一年的時間後，就成了年輕蘿蔔乾。而年輕蘿蔔乾繼續陳放下去，就是珍貴的老蘿蔔乾。
