Jiaogulan (Gynostemma) and Corn Kernel Soup

Why people make this soup

Roughly half of people with diabetes also develop a fatty liver, as the body’s struggle to use glucose throws off how fats are handled. As an everyday, food-based way to look after the liver, Nourilo likes this simple jiaogulan-and-corn tea-soup. It’s light and slightly sweet, traditionally used to support the spleen and “resolve phlegm and lower lipids” — a gentle helper for those wanting to keep their liver healthy.
