Huai shan has been in the wet market for about 2 years. I have been ignorant to its existence till recently my mother cooked it. I asked if it is a special type of potato as it tasted just like one.
Based on my internet findings, Huai shan has many medicinal benefits. It is commonly used in chinese medicine to treat kidneys, spleen and lungs. It promotes urination, lower blood sugar and pressure, anti aging and improves digestive system. Isn't this amazing?
This root vegetable carries a sweet and light taste. It can be used for soups and stir fries. I would like to share a simple soup recipe with you such you can boil a healthy soup for your whole family.
