Euryale Seeds (Qian Shi) Concentrated Granules | (100g bottle)

Qian Shi concentrated granules are made from dried Euryale seeds, processed into a fine, fast-dissolving powder. They give you the traditional ingredient in a form that takes seconds to prepare.

At Vita, we supply premium quality concentrated herbal granules for busy individuals who do not have the time to decoct Chinese herbs traditionally.

Unlike other brands, our concentrated herbal granules are produced using state-of-the-art 'spray drying' technology, meaning a purer end product and 2-3 times higher concentration.

Because the granules are concentrated, a small amount goes a long way. They dissolve directly in hot water with no soaking, simmering, or straining, which makes them practical for daily use.

Potential Benefits of Euryale Seeds Granules

Antioxidant: Qian Shi contains potential antioxidants, including flavonoids and phenolic compounds, which may help in protecting against oxidative stress and free radicals. Antioxidants could play a vital role in maintaining overall well-being and reducing the risk of chronic diseases.

Anti-inflammatory: Dried Euryale Seeds have potential anti-inflammatory properties that may help reduce inflammation in the body. They are often used in traditional medicine to potentially alleviate inflammation-related conditions such as arthritis and joint pain.

Digestion: Qian Shi are known for their possible digestive benefits. They might contain dietary fibre, which may aid in digestion, promote regular bowel movements, and help prevent constipation.

Blood: Dried Euryale Seeds may have a low glycaemic index and are potentially rich in complex carbohydrates, making them a potential option for individuals concerned about blood sugar levels. They are often seen as a well-rounded alternative to processed snacks.

Weight Control: Due to their potential low-calorie content and high fibre content, dried euryale seeds could be a beneficial addition to a weight management plan. They may help promote satiety, control cravings, and provide a nutritious snack option.

How to Use the Granules

We recommend around 2g per serving, roughly half a teaspoon, taken once or twice a day.

In hot water: Add the granules to a mug of hot, not boiling, water and stir until fully dissolved. Leave to cool slightly before drinking.

In a blend: Qian Shi granules combine well with other granules from the range, so you can build a mix that suits your routine rather than brewing each herb separately.

Into food and drinks: The powder stirs into congee, porridge, soup, or a smoothie without changing the texture of the dish.

Storage: Keep the bottle sealed in a cool, dry place. Granules draw in moisture easily, so close the lid promptly and use a dry spoon.

Prefer the whole seed? Qian Shi is also stocked as dried Euryale seeds in 500g and 100g packs, which suit roasting, snacking, and slow cooked dishes. You can read more in our blog on Dried Euryale Seeds – Benefits & Uses.
