Why should daylily be dried?

Fresh daylily contains toxins that can cause mild poisoning in humans, so we usually process fresh daylily before eating it. In addition to the above drying method, you can also blanch and soak it before eating. This not only removes the toxins, but also allows you to taste the freshness of the daylily.

Let's look at the specific treatment method: peel off each yellow flower of the daylily and remove the stamens inside, because the stamens contain most of the toxin colchicine. Then rinse the daylily and soak it in salt water for half an hour to weaken or eliminate the toxin. Only then can it be eaten safely. Of course, you can also add a blanching step before frying, which can also remove the toxin. In short, you must pay attention to these steps before eating fresh daylily, otherwise it may cause poisoning.

How to soak daylily

When processing dried day lily, soak it first and then boil it. First, soak the day lily in warm water for a while. After the day lily becomes soft, take it out and remove the hard stems and impurities on the top. Then put the day lily and cold water into the pot and boil them with boiling water. After taking it out, soak it in cold water for at least two hours before eating. One thing to note is that you must wash the soaked day lily with clean water, and then squeeze out the water. This will basically remove the impurities in the dried day lily.
