Fox Nuts (Gordon Euryale Seed) (136g)

Fox Nuts are small, starchy white seeds harvested from a flowering plant in the water lily family. These seeds grow in water and are enclosed in large, round leaves with purple flowers, each containing 8-12 seeds.

Common in Chinese cuisine, Fox Nuts can be eaten raw or cooked, often appearing in soups, stews, and desserts. When cooked, they puff up and absorb flavors, making them a great complement to barley, beans, peanuts, cashews, or apricot kernels.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Fox Nuts are neutral in nature, helping to tonify the spleen, strengthen the kidneys, and dispel dampness. They are also a natural diuretic, making them an ideal ingredient for spring soups when paired with barley or apricot kernels.
