About our Dried Poria Skin
About
Dried Poria Skin (Fu Ling Pi) has been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for thousands of years.
Dried Poria Skin mushrooms are also eaten as food. It is used as an ingredient in dishes such as Sweet poria cakes or Fuling tonic soup.
All of our products are 100% natural and promote daily well-being!
Fu Ling Pi is the outer skin of the same fungus we stock as Dried China Root (Fu Ling), and is classically combined with White Atractylodis Rhizome (Bai Zhu) and Dried Coix Seeds (Yi Yi Ren).
Potential Benefits
Inner Balance: Traditionally used in warm infusions believed to contribute to overall well-being.
Light and Mild: Often included in broths and teas for a gentle and neutral taste.
Versatile: Frequently featured in traditional blends, teas and broths.
Traditional Use: Fu Ling Pi has a long history in classic Chinese preparations, where the skin is used distinctly from the inner flesh.
Daily Vitality: Often consumed in various dishes, such as sweet poria cakes and soups.
Recommended Dosage
We recommend around 10g per portion.
Simmer the skin in water for twenty to thirty minutes rather than steeping briefly, then strain. It has a mild, neutral character, so it is usually used alongside other ingredients rather than on its own. It can also be added to soups and broths at the start of cooking.
Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
Why Choose Vita?
Every herb we sell at Vita Herbal Nutrition is non-sulphur treated and chosen for use in the kitchen and in traditional preparation.
We offer a completely sulphur-free herb collection. Unlike many others who use sulphur to improve appearance and extend shelf life, this treatment can affect the herb’s natural properties and may trigger allergic reactions in sensitive individuals.
We follow the DaoDi principle of choosing each herb from the area traditionally associated with it, and we have worked with the same supply partners since 2010.
