About Angular Solomon's Seal Slices ▾
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. Angular Solomon's Seal is one of the ingredients that fits this season. It is mild, slightly moistening, and gentle.
It has no strong taste. It blends into the broth quietly, adding a gentle quality that makes the soup feel easier to drink.
