Premium Longya Lily / Long Ya Bai He 8oz

【Benefits】

Dried Longya Lily, with concentrated active ingredients after dehydration, excels in nourishing yin and moistening the lungs. It effectively relieves symptoms like dry cough, sore throat, and chest tightness caused by lung yin deficiency—its mild and long-lasting effect makes it suitable for long-term health maintenance. It also clears the heart and calms the mind, helping to alleviate insomnia, dreaminess, and restlessness resulting from heart yin inadequacy. From a modern perspective, its lily polysaccharides and alkaloids (more concentrated in dried form) enhance antioxidant capacity, protect cells from free radical damage, regulate the immune system, and exert a gentle sedative effect to ease mild anxiety.

【Properties and Tastes】

Tastes sweet; neutral in nature; enters the Lung and Heart meridians

【Nutritional Value】

Dried Longya Lily is a nutrient-dense ingredient with higher nutrient concentration due to dehydration. It is rich in lily polysaccharides (the core bioactive component), which boost immune cell activity and support metabolic balance. It contains various alkaloids (e.g., liliorine) that strengthen its calming and mind-soothing effects. For vitamins, it retains B-group vitamins (aiding energy metabolism) and vitamin C (enhancing antioxidant capacity)—though some heat-sensitive vitamins are preserved better with proper drying. It is also a good source of minerals like potassium (maintaining heart function), calcium (strengthening bones), and phosphorus (supporting cellular processes). Its dietary fiber, more concentrated in dried form, promotes intestinal peristalsis and aids digestion.

【Storage Methods】

• Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place (ideal temperature: 10-20℃, humidity below 60%), away from direct sunlight and high-humidity areas (e.g., near kitchen sinks or stoves) to prevent mold growth.
• Use airtight containers (sealed glass jars, vacuum-packed plastic bags, or tin cans with rubber gaskets) to avoid moisture absorption and oxidation. Add 1-2 food-grade desiccant packets (e.g., silica gel) to the container if the environment is humid, replacing desiccants every 2-3 months.
• Avoid storing with odorous ingredients (e.g., Sichuan pepper, star anise) to prevent flavor tainting. For long-term storage (over 6 months), place the sealed container in the refrigerator’s crisper drawer (0-5℃) to extend shelf life to 12-18 months.
• Check monthly: If mold spots (white/green), musty odors, or softening (signs of moisture absorption) are found, discard immediately to avoid health risks.
