Sun-dried sharen fruit from Guangdong's Yangchun growing area and neighbouring provinces — a key aromatic in Chinese braising blends and herbal formulations. Whole fruit or ground, cleaned and hand-sorted.
Sharen (Amomum villosum) is the dried, near-mature fruit of a ginger-family plant grown in southern China. Yangchun in Guangdong is the best-known growing area, with Guangxi and Yunnan supplying comparable material at different price levels.
Fruit is harvested when the capsule turns brownish-green, then sun-dried or low-temperature dried to preserve the volatile oil. Because the seed inside carries most of the aroma, we grade on seed plumpness and capsule fill rather than external appearance alone.
Two whole-fruit grades plus ground, graded on seed fill and cleanliness.

Yangchun (Guangdong) fruit is traditionally considered the reference grade for aroma and seed fill, and prices accordingly. Guangxi and Yunnan material can meet the same specification at a lower price — we quote both so buyers can choose.
Yes. Whole dried capsules are the default presentation. Ground sharen is available but loses aroma quickly, so we recommend whole for anything other than immediate production use.
Our standard MOQ for Amomum Fruit (Sharen) is 1 MT per grade, so a buyer can run a trial lot through their own line before committing to a container. A 20′ container holds roughly 18–24 MT depending on product and packing; a 40′ FCL is quoted on the same basis.
Yes. 200 g–500 g samples of Amomum Fruit (Sharen) are supplied free of charge for evaluation; the buyer covers courier freight, or the sample can travel with the first shipment. Tell us the grade, packing form and destination and we cut the sample from the current lot.
Production runs 25–30 working days from order confirmation, depending on grade, packing and current stock. Amomum Fruit (Sharen) then moves to Qinzhou port, or the port you nominate; ocean transit is quoted per destination when freight is confirmed.
We typically accept T/T (30% deposit, 70% against B/L copy) or L/C at sight for new buyers. Repeat buyers can move to negotiated terms after the first shipments.
Yes. Bag size, carton design and label content can follow your market's rules, and we send a dieline proof before the run starts. Custom packaging starts at 1,000 kg per design.
The standard set is COA, phytosanitary certificate, certificate of origin, commercial invoice, packing list and bill of lading. Pesticide residue, aflatoxin, heavy metal and microbiology reports for Amomum Fruit (Sharen) are issued by third-party labs such as SGS, Eurofins or BV on request. We do not hold an FDA facility registration; for US imports we support your importer's FSVP and prior-notice paperwork with batch-level documents.
