Dried yizhi ren fruit from Hainan and western Guangdong — a warm, aromatic botanical used in Chinese culinary and herbal preparations. Cleaned, sun-dried and supplied whole or ground.
Sharpleaf galangal fruit (Alpinia oxyphylla), known in Chinese as yizhi ren, is the dried capsule of a ginger-family plant grown mainly on Hainan and in western Guangdong. The dried fruit carries a warm, peppery-camphor aroma.
Fruit is harvested when fully formed, cleaned, then sun-dried or low-temperature dried. Because the material is thin-walled, drying speed has a direct effect on colour and volatile oil retention — we confirm drying method with the processing partner for each lot.
Whole dried capsules or ground, cleaned and graded for uniformity.

Quick answers to common buyer questions. For detailed technical data, please request our product brochure.
Yes — both belong to the Alpinia genus. Sand ginger (Kaempferia galanga) is a rhizome, while this product is the dried fruit; the aroma profiles are related but not interchangeable.
Harvest runs from late summer into autumn, with material available through the following season. Because volumes are moderate, we recommend confirming requirements early for container-scale orders.
Our standard MOQ for Sharpleaf Galangal Fruit 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 Sharpleaf Galangal Fruit 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. Sharpleaf Galangal Fruit 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 Sharpleaf Galangal Fruit 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.
