Food Analysis

My earliest knowledge of Polygonatum sibiricum should be the Polygonatum sibiricum wine at home when I was a child. Since then, I have had the impression that Polygonatum sibiricum is a tonic, because generally only tonics are used to make wine. Indeed, this Huangjing wine has the effects of nourishing essence and blood, strengthening bones and strengthening yang, resisting aging and prolonging life. It is quite effective for people with cold body, kidney deficiency, low back pain, impotence, etc.

Polygonatum sibiricum is used as medicine based on its rhizome, which has the functions of replenishing qi and nourishing yin, strengthening the spleen, moistening the lungs, and benefiting the kidneys. It is an ideal tonic for the elderly, without the side effects that may be caused by other tonic and warming products. Moreover, Polygonatum sibiricum has the effects of lowering blood pressure and blood sugar, increasing coronary blood flow, lowering blood lipids and delaying atherosclerosis. Medicinal Polygonatum is divided into raw Polygonatum, cooked Polygonatum, sweet Polygonatum, and wine Polygonatum, etc., and their effects are slightly different, with some increases and decreases.

In addition to being used as medicine and for making wine, Polygonatum sibiricum can also be used to make medicinal food, such as Polygonatum sibiricum stewed with lean meat soup, Polygonatum sibiricum and Polygonatum odoratum pork tongue soup, Polygonatum sibiricum and angelica egg soup, Polygonatum sibiricum porridge, Polygonatum sibiricum steamed chicken, etc. Polygonatum porridge is suitable for yin deficiency and lung dryness, cough and dry throat, weak spleen and stomach. Polygonatum steamed chicken is very effective for fatigue, weakness in the waist and knees, and fear of cold in winter.
