"Shame to be with the grass of the crowd, He Tingting and only fragrant! Why not be appreciated by people, deep mountains and poor valleys to commission frost?" More than a thousand years ago, the Tang Dynasty border poet once sang about the snow lotus. Snow lotus, also known as snow lotus, has the effect of promoting blood circulation, mainly distributed in Xinjiang, Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau. Across the central Xinjiang Tianshan mountain range, ice peaks and snowy mountain ranges stretching, 4,000 meters above sea level is a year-round snow zone, known as the snow line, the snow lotus flower grows in the snow line below the altitude of 3,000 to 4,000 meters on the cliffs. Because of the special growth environment, the snow lotus three to five years to blossom and fruit, in the past has been a kind of difficult to cultivate the precious Chinese medicine. In order to save this rare and famous Chinese herbal medicine, in 2001 a businessman established a good environment for artificial cultivation of snow lotus in a valley deep in the Tianshan Mountains, so we can eat such a popular tonic.

Although it is only a dried product of snow lotus, it still retains the flavor and certain effects of snow lotus. When cooking, you need to soak it for a period of time, and then put it into the dish with the flower and the water, so as to let the flavor of the snow lotus appear to the fullest.
