Dang Gui (Angelica Root) — Traditional Herb for Women's Health
Dang Gui (Angelica sinensis) is a dried root widely used in Chinese home cooking. It has a strong, sweet, and slightly woody aroma. It is almost always combined with other ingredients and is rarely eaten on its own.
How to use: Rinse the slices before use. Add to chicken or pork soups, usually with ginger and jujube dates. Simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours.

About Dang Gui ▾
In traditional Chinese food culture, Dang Gui is often associated with women's health and blood nourishment. It is a common ingredient in medicinal soups for postpartum recovery and everyday wellness.
It has a distinct, strong flavor. That is why it is used in small amounts and always paired with other ingredients like ginger and jujube dates to balance the taste.
