Fresh daylilies do not need to be cored. Not only does the core of fresh daylilies contain colchicine, which is harmful to the human body, but its petals also contain higher toxins. It can be said that the entire daylily contains colchicine. The best way to remove colchicine is to scald it with boiling water. If so, there is no need for core pulling.
Does fresh daylily need to be cored?
Dried daylily is also called dried daylily. Its original name is Hemerocallis fulva, and it was also known as "Wangyoucao" in ancient times. Daylily belongs to the Liliaceae family and is a perennial herbaceous root. It is cultivated all over the north and south of my country. Dried daylily is a traditional vegetable that people like to eat. Dried day lily is regarded as a "treasure on the table" because of its thick petals, rich fragrance, delicate fragrance, freshness and smoothness similar to fungus and straw mushroom. It has high nutritional value.
However, fresh daylilies contain colchicine and cannot be eaten directly, otherwise poisoning symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, and vomiting will easily occur. Some people believe that fresh daylilies with the stamens removed are not poisonous and can be eaten with confidence. Is this the right approach? Unfortunately, the answer is no. Although the colchicine content of the stamens (ovary and stamens) is indeed higher than that of the petals, due to the huge difference in quality between the stamens and the petals, 60% of the colchicine in the entire daylily is distributed in the petals. Even with the stamens removed, fresh daylilies are still dangerous. The best way to remove colchicine is to boil it in boiling water.
