Braised Beer Chicken with Daylily

Overview

Daylily is known as a famous vegetable, beautiful flower, and good medicine. As a famous vegetable, daylily is also listed as one of the four major delicacies (shiitake mushrooms, fungus, winter bamboo shoots, and daylily). The poet Su Shi of the Song Dynasty once said that there is no precious jade in the farmhouse, and the yellow flowers everywhere are golden needles. The vitamin content of daylily is 10 times higher than that of cabbage, and the mineral content is more than 3 times higher than that of cabbage. Because it contains more vitamin B1, it can stimulate gastrointestinal peristalsis, promote food emptying, increase appetite, and therefore has a calming effect. Daylily is a food with high potassium and low sodium, and has diuretic and antihypertensive effects. It is beneficial for patients with hypertension and nephritis to often eat daylily; it can also prevent and treat rickets and anemia. In addition, daylily also contains a variety of amino acids, which are essential nutrients for the human body. Today, Japan, a country of longevity, lists daylily as one of the most representative brain-building foods among plant foods, and it is especially beneficial to fetal development.
