The main raw material of ice powder is “ice powder tree”, “ice powder tree” scientific name pseudophylla, native to the Americas, mainly distributed in Yunnan, Guangxi and other regions; Guizhou, Hunan, Sichuan and other places are also cultivated.

Ice powder is a special snack in the southwest of China. Especially in hot summer, a bowl of cool ice powder can play a role in relieving heat. What material is ice powder made of? Let’s get to know.
