Description

Dried Euryale Seeds, known in TCM as Qian Shi (芡实), from Euryale ferox, are the dried mature seeds of the gorgon nut plant. In TCM theory, Qian Shi is considered sweet and astringent in nature, traditionally associated with the spleen and kidney channels. These whole seeds are a common ingredient in Chinese soups, congee, and herbal decoctions, valued in traditional wellness practice for their gently astringent character. Store in a cool, dry place and use as a food ingredient.
