Dried Lily Buds

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.Read more
