Dayan Daylily

　　Dayan Daylily, also known as daylily flower or dried daylily, features a golden-yellow hue, long petals, thick and tender flesh, uniformly large size, and remains soft even after prolonged cooking. It leaves a lingering fragrance after eating. Rich in nutrients, scientific analysis shows that every 100 grams of dried daylily contains up to 60.1 grams of carbohydrates, 14.1 grams of protein, 0.9 grams of ash, 436 milligrams of calcium, 261 milligrams of phosphorus, and 24.3 milligrams of iron.

　　It also contains various vitamins, riboflavin, thiamine, and more. Dried daylilies contain as much as 5% aromatic alcohol, making them an exceptionally fragrant and delicious vegetable. They have been used in gourmet dishes since ancient times. Even Buddhist vegetarian cuisine includes them, as the saying goes, “Among the seven great dishes of the Buddhist realm, daylilies are never absent.” Daylilies can also be used medicinally, offering diuretic and stomach-strengthening benefits.
