Sanqi is a valuable Chinese medicinal material in China, due to special requirements for environmental conditions, it is now only present in the mountainous areas of southwest China. Sanqi is a characteristic biological resource of Yunnan Province, mainly distributed in Wenshan, Honghe and other prefectures and cities. Sanchi whisker root is a whisker-like root that grows on the main root of Sanchi, due to policy factors, it has not been able to be developed and utilized as ordinary food, pre-packaged products cannot be legally listed, and can only be sold as a small range of primary agricultural products, resulting in limited development and utilization in the wider food field, and the industrial agglomeration effect and actual value are difficult to be truly reflected. Therefore, promoting the entry of Sanqi into local specialty foods is not only to meet the needs of the masses' happiness and sense of gain, and to promote the improvement of people's livelihood, but also an important measure to adapt to economic development and promote supply-side structural reform.
