Zheng Feng Dried Astragalus 50g

A classic ingredient in traditional Chinese herbal cooking, Astragalus root (Huang Qi) is prized for its gentle sweetness and warm, earthy aroma. Zheng Feng Dried Astragalus is carefully sliced and dried to preserve its natural flavour, releasing a mild herbal richness when slowly simmered in soups and broths.

In Chinese cuisine, Huang Qi is often used in nourishing herbal soups, where it adds depth and a subtle natural sweetness to the broth. It pairs particularly well with chicken, pork, red dates, goji berries and other traditional soup ingredients, creating comforting slow-cooked dishes with layered flavour.
During long simmering, the root infuses the broth with a warm herbal note while maintaining a light and balanced taste. Commonly used together with Dang Shen, Chinese yam and poria in traditional soup recipes, it is a staple ingredient for herbal broths, tonic soups and hot pot bases across many Chinese kitchens.
