Astragalus Root

Astragalus Root is the dried root of Astragalus membranaceus, a staple of Traditional Chinese Medicine often added to soups and broths as a mild, sweet-flavored tonic. It is most commonly used in East Asian cuisines and herbal preparations for its reputed adaptogenic and immune-supporting properties rather than as an everyday food. Nutritionally it is mainly a carbohydrate-rich root used in small amounts; per 100 g it provides notable mineral content such as 1200mg of potassium and also contributes some fiber while being low in protein and fat. Because it is typically used as a simmered herb rather than a bulk ingredient, its macro contribution to a meal is usually modest. From a health perspective, astragalus is valued for bioactive polysaccharides and traditional immune-support effects rather than as a major source of vitamins or antioxidants; it offers modest fiber and minerals but is not a concentrated source of protein or polyphenols. Use it as a flavoring or herbal supplement within a balanced diet rather than a primary nutrient source.Read more
