Dried Lily Buds are dried flower buds commonly used in Chinese cuisine (often called "golden needles" or Jin Zhen) to add texture and umami to soups, stir-fries and braises. They have a chewy, slightly sweet and floral character and are especially common in regional dishes such as hotpots and traditional braised recipes. Nutritionally, Dried Lily Buds are notable for being a concentrated source of fiber with about 15g per 100g, and they also supply plant protein while being low in fat. They contribute modest amounts of vitamin K and trace minerals like manganese and copper, so a small serving can add both texture and micronutrients to a dish. From a health perspective, dried lily buds are a wholesome, minimally processed pantry ingredient that supports digestion thanks to their fiber and provides a good-quality plant protein contribution. Because they are used in relatively small amounts in cooking, they’re an easy way to boost fiber and vegetable variety without adding much fat or salt.
