What Is Wild Dried Daylily?
Dried daylily (also known as Golden Needle Vegetable or Jin Zhen Cai) is the dried flower bud of the daylily plant. It has been widely used in traditional Chinese cuisine for centuries due to its unique flavor and nutritional value.
Our wild daylilies are harvested from Tongjiang County in Sichuan Province, where the plants grow naturally on mountain slopes and countryside fields.
Only the unopened flower buds are collected, as they contain the best flavor and nutrition. After harvesting, they are hand-steamed and naturally sun-dried, preserving their natural color, aroma, and nutrients.
