Dried Nut-Grass Rhizome, known as Xiang Fu, is a fragrant and earthy ingredient that has been used for generations. Native to many regions across China, this rhizome is harvested in the autumn when it reaches peak maturity.
With its slightly bitter yet aromatic flavour, it has long been valued in traditional preparations, particularly in potentially warming teas, broths, and herbal blends.
Xiang Fu is often enjoyed as part of a balanced diet, adding depth to both savoury and mildly sweet recipes. Its versatility makes it a popular choice for those seeking a naturally rich and possibly grounding ingredient to incorporate into their meals. It is classically combined with Dried Orange Peel (Chen Pi), Dried Szechuan Lovage Rhizome (Chuan Xiong), and Dried White Peony (Bai Shao Yao).
Digestion: Xiang Fu is traditionally included in meals and infusions that are associated with potential digestive balance and comfort.
Relaxation: This rhizome is often used in warming teas and tonics that are enjoyed for their possible soothing properties.
Energy and Vitality: Xiang Fu is frequently incorporated into diets that may maintain natural energy levels.
Overall Balance: Many traditional preparations include Xiang Fu for its long-standing association with maintaining internal harmony.
Aromatic: Its fragrant, slightly bitter character adds depth to broths and blends without dominating them.
We recommend around 5g per portion.
The rhizome is firm, so break it into smaller pieces and simmer in water for twenty to thirty minutes rather than steeping briefly, then strain. It can also be added to broths and slow cooked dishes at the start, where its aroma settles into the background.
Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
