About This Kit ▾
In Chinese food culture, autumn is the season of dryness. The traditional response is to eat foods that are moist and warming — soups, stews, and congee. This kit brings together ingredients that are commonly used together for this season.
Sand root and jade bamboo are a classic pairing for dry weather. Chinese yam and lotus seed add body and a gentle, starchy texture. Jujube dates, astragalus, ginger, and chen pi add warmth and depth.
