Red Date

Sa tradisyonal na Chinese food therapy

Tradisyonal na konteksto, hindi payong medikal. Ito ang pananaw sa sangkap sa klasikal na food-therapy cooking — hindi claim sa paggamot.

Red dates are one of the most common sweetening ingredients in Chinese food-therapy cooking, added whole or sliced to lend warmth and depth to a broth without refined sugar.

Whole dates go into long-simmered savoury soups; sliced dates sweeten congee and dessert soups. Pit them if you want less bitterness from the stone.
