Daylily is known as a "famous dish, beautiful flower, and good medicine". As a famous dish, day lily is listed as one of the "Four Susan Treasures" (mushrooms, fungus, winter bamboo shoots, day lily). The poet Su Shi in the Song dynasty said, "There is no precious jade in the farmhouse of Mo Dao, and the yellow flowers are golden needles everywhere". The vitamin content of day lily 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 and increase appetite, so it has a soothing effect. Daylily is a high-potassium, low-sodium food, which has a diuretic and hypotensive effect. It is beneficial for patients with hypertension and nephritis to eat daylily; it can also prevent rickets and anemia. In addition, day lily also contains a variety of amino acids, which are essential nutrients for the human body. Nowadays, Japan, a country with longevity, lists day lily as one of the "most representative brain-building foods in plant foods", which is especially beneficial to fetal development. "
