Ashima Chive Flower Pickles is a signature pickled condiment from Qujing, Yunnan Province, produced by Chive Flower Factory of Qujing Qilin Vegetable Group Co., Ltd. Here is the detailed introduction:

• Craftsmanship: Tender chive flowers with half seeds and half blooms are selected from the 7th to 8th lunar months every year, rinsed three times with clean water and air-dried to 70% dryness. Brown sugar is melted with grain liquor of over 50 degrees alcohol content, fully mixed with kohlrabi shreds cut into matchstick thickness, then chive flowers, chili peppers and refined salt are added and stirred evenly. The mixture is put into clay pots, compacted layer by layer, and sealed with lotus leaves and yellow mud. The pots are opened and stirred once a month for the first three months, then cellared at a constant temperature for about half a year to achieve full saccharification and fermentation.
