White Atractylodis Rhizome (Bai Zhu) is a traditional ingredient widely used in East Asia, particularly in China’s Hubei and Jiangsu provinces.
Derived from Atractylodes macrocephala, this warming rhizome has been valued for generations and is known for its distinctive bitter-sweet flavour.
Bai Zhu is often dried and sliced before being brewed into teas, simmered in soups, or blended with other traditional ingredients. It is classically combined with Dried China Root (Fu Ling), Dried Codonopsis Root (Dang Shen), and Dried Liquorice Root (Gan Cao) in traditional preparations.
Daily Well-being: With its mildly bitter and sweet flavour, Bai Zhu is a versatile ingredient in traditional teas, soups, and decoctions.
Energy Levels: Commonly included in time-honoured blends, Bai Zhu is enjoyed as part of a balanced daily routine.
Natural Digestion: Bai Zhu has traditionally been included in warming teas and soups that are enjoyed alongside meals.
Inner Balance: Often used in traditional preparations, White Atractylodis Rhizome is associated with potentially maintaining a sense of equilibrium.
Warming Character: Long valued in traditional practice as a warming ingredient, particularly in colder months.
We recommend around 10g per portion.
The rhizome is firm, so simmer the slices in water for twenty to thirty minutes rather than steeping briefly, then strain. It has a pronounced bitter-sweet character, so it is usually used as part of a blend, and can also be added to soups at the start of cooking.
If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking regular medication, speak to a healthcare professional before use.
Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
