Traditional Uses

Ge Fen has long been prepared as a simple hot paste in southern China, where it is stirred with boiling water and enjoyed as a cooling daily food. It is also traditionally added to congee, soups, and seasonal desserts, and often paired with other root powders or honey in folk practice.
