About

Discover the delicate flavour and natural qualities of dried Chinese day lily buds, also known as Huang Hua Cai or golden needle flowers.

Used in traditional culinary practices for centuries, these vibrant buds bring a rich depth to soups, stir-fries, and broths.

Carefully harvested and dried to preserve their essence, they offer a gentle way to potentially support balance and overall well-being as part of a nourishing diet.

Potential Benefits

Nutrition: Dried Chinese Day Lily Buds are a potential source of essential nutrients, including vitamins A and C, fibre, and minerals such as iron and calcium. They could contribute to a well-rounded and nutritious diet.

Antioxidant: Huang Hua Cai may contain antioxidants that could help protect the body against oxidative stress and cellular damage caused by harmful free radicals.

Anti-inflammatory: Dried Chinese Day Lily Buds have traditionally been used in Chinese medicine for their potential anti-inflammatory properties. They may help reduce inflammation in the body, which could be beneficial for conditions such as arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease.

Here are some suggestions on how to use Dried Chinese Day Lily Buds:

Stir-fries: Dried Chinese Day Lily Buds are often used in stir-fried dishes. They can be added to vegetable stir-fries or mixed with other ingredients like mushrooms, tofu, or meat. Their tender texture and slightly sweet flavour complement the dish.

Soups and stews: Huang Hua Cai can be added to soups and stews to enhance their flavour and provide a unique texture. They absorb the flavours of the broth and add a delicate floral note to the dish. They are often used in hot and sour soup, as well as in meat or vegetable-based stews.

Salads: Dried Chinese Day Lily Buds can be rehydrated and used in salads. They add a crisp texture and a subtle floral taste to the salad mix. They pair well with fresh vegetables, such as cucumber or carrots, and can be combined with a light dressing for a refreshing salad.

Steamed dishes: Dried Chinese Day Lily Buds can be steamed along with other ingredients. They become soft and tender when steamed, making them a great addition to steamed fish, chicken, or vegetable dishes. The steaming process helps to preserve their delicate flavour.

Rice dishes: Huang Hua Cai can be added to rice dishes for both flavour and visual appeal. They can be mixed with rice and other ingredients, such as mushrooms or diced vegetables, to create a fragrant and flavourful rice dish.

Herbal teas and infusions: Dried Chinese Day Lily Buds can be used to make herbal teas or infusions. They can be steeped in hot water to create a light and aromatic tea. Some people believe that it has a soothing effect and can be enjoyed as a potentially relaxing beverage.

When using dried Chinese Day Lily Buds in cooking, it's important to re-hydrate them first by soaking them in warm water until they become soft and pliable. They can then be used in various recipes according to your preferences and culinary creativity.

Very nice quality
Size: 2' x 3' (Sheepskin shape), Color: Creamy White, Size: 2' x 3' (Sheepskin shape), Color: Creamy White
I ordered three of these, and they arrived promptly and very well packaged in a vacuum seal pack. Once you pull them out, shake them and fluff them a little bit they lose their wrinkles pretty quickly. They seem to be very good quality and are authentically sheepskin. The “white” has a tiny little bit of a yellow undertone, which is what I expected since it’s basically a dyed sheep skin. I would call the white color “natural” rather than white white. They are very thick and were a good price. I ordered two of the three foot-long hides and one 6ft foot hide. One of the hides had a slight odor to it that reminded me a little bit of eggs. It’s been laying on my bench all night and 24 hours later there is no smell. The other two hides had zero smell at all. I think it’s just a little leftover chemical smell from the treatment of the hide when they get it ready. It wasn’t overwhelming or overpowering. If you’re looking for the ultimate SUPER plush sheepskin, I recommend the Overland Sheepskin Company. However, for what I need these for which is just something to throw over my dining room table bench for a little cushion and aesthetics. It’s absolutely perfect and the right price point.

Beautiful Good Quality Sheepskin, Beautifully Packaged
Size: 2' x 6' (Sheepskin shape), Color: Creamy White, Size: 2' x 6' (Sheepskin shape), Color: Creamy White
Very nicely packaged and presented sheepskin rug. Seems like very good quality and is just as I imagined it would be based on my previous experiences with sheepskin. I don’t think it’s as soft as others seemed to think but it has been chemically processed and it is very similar in texture to what I remember from past experiences with sheepskin. I got this for the kitties to nap on - one seemed proud of me for bringing home a pelt and went into hunt mode. The other looked at me suspiciously like he didn’t really know me at all and was afraid I could be eyeing him for his fur! Hopefully once they both adjust they’ll enjoy napping on it 🙀😻

Full of beauty!
Size: 2' x 6' (Sheepskin shape), Color: Creamy White
This company takes pride in their work. The sheep skin covering is beyond what anyone could imagine. I purchased this for medicinal purposes. I found out I have SI joint dysfunction. And this sheepskin helps to relieve pressure points so I am using this as a chair covering for when I sit. The product came in a big box and then a plastic bag and then a third, well covered, plastic bag to protect the sheepskin. You will not be disappointed if you purchase this covering. The price was excellent. It will take your breath away. Very happy with my purchase. There was no odor when I opened the package. Many thanks for an excellent product and helping me to be more comfortable when I sit for short periods of time. :)

Nice, but almost feels faux to me
Size: 2' x 6' (Sheepskin shape), Color: Pink, Size: 2' x 6' (Sheepskin shape), Color: Pink
I like it, but it says it’s real, and I believe them, but it feels like it is faux. I’ve owned a fake one before and it feels similar. Please know I am not saying it is not real. I guess the fake was well done! It’s super long and I am still on the fence if I want it this long. I’ve taken a pic here, but right now it is wrapped in the package in case I need to return. It is soft and pretty, but I’m not sure that Barbie pink is my best choice lol. Usually I would pair it with a mid century modern bedspread that is chenille, with a little pink so it works well but not too matchy matchy. I wish I had taken a pic with that bedspread because the bit of pink on the bedspread looks very nice against the rug. So let me apologize for having it with an ugly bedspread.
