No matter whether it is fresh or dry, daylily should be blanched. Daylily contains colchicine. If the human body ingests colchicine, it will be oxidized in human tissues and generate colchicine. Colchicine is a highly toxic substance, which can poison human gastrointestinal tract and urinary system and seriously threaten health.

If an adult eats fresh daylily 50 ~100g at a time, it can cause poisoning. To prevent the poisoning of fresh daylily, you can boil fresh daylily in boiling water for a while, and then soak it in clear water to remove most of the water-soluble colchicine. You can also cook fresh daylily thoroughly before cooking.

Precautions:

Eating daylily has many benefits to human body, but there are still many precautions when eating it. Daylily must not be eaten raw, because fresh daylily itself contains alkali and stays on it after drying, which may cause food poisoning after eating, and it is best to blanch it with boiling water before eating, so that it tastes good, safe and healthy.

There are many ways to eat dried daylily, such as cold salad (cooked first), stir-frying, soup making or serving as a side dish, all of which are very good choices. Moreover, the range of applicable groups is also relatively wide, and the elderly and children can eat it, and there are many nutrients in it, so most people still prefer to eat it.
