She Ethnic Group Dried Vegetables

She Ethnic Group Dried Vegetables

　　The She Ethnic Village in Zhengguo Town is the only ethnic minority settlement in the Guangzhou area. Due to the high mountains, dense forests, mild climate, and fertile land here, a type of sweet and uniquely flavorful cabbage grows. The She people use traditional methods to process it into dried vegetables, which are reserved for use in soups during festive celebrations and when hosting distinguished guests. These dried vegetables help cool the body, clear heat, soothe the heart, moisten the lungs, relieve summer heat, and quench thirst. When stewed with various meats, they produce a richly aromatic, deliciously sweet, and nourishing soup — making them an excellent choice for entertaining guests or giving as gifts.
