I. Qianxi Chestnut: A National Geographical Indication
Qianxi County (Tangshan, Hebei) lies at the southern foot of the Yanshan Mountains and is the core production area of the 'Qianxi Chestnut' National Geographical Indication protected product, with a cultivation history of over two thousand years. Its chestnuts are known forlustrous appearance, a sweet and glutinous aroma, and full stickinessand are renowned as a premium production area of Chinese chestnut (Chinese chestnut / Castanea mollissima) in the international market.
For overseas buyers, the Qianxi Chestnut GI means three things:Trustworthy Quality(stable flavor from the scarcity of its origin), Controllable Compliance(HACCP control and full-process traceability), A Story to Tell('Hometown of Chinese Chestnut' and 'National Geographical Indication' are natural premium points on the retail shelf).
II. Hongyao Sweet Potato: A Honey-Sweet Potato Variety Grown in Qianxi
Hongyao (Hongyao, Japanese variety name 紅はるか / Beni-Haruka line) is a high-sugar honey-sweet-potato-type sweet potato. After being introduced to Qianxi County, it developed a unique 'chestnut aroma, honey sweetness' taste thanks to its sandy loam soil and the day–night temperature difference, and it is the raw-material basis for NINGLI's sweet potato series (Dried Sweet Potato, Frozen Sweet Potato Cubes, Honey Sweet Potato Sticks).
