Why people make this soup
Autumn is persimmon season, and dried persimmons (shi bing) are a classic pantry staple in Cantonese households. Beyond their sweet, chewy appeal, dried persimmons have been used for generations in food therapy to address digestive and respiratory complaints. This three-ingredient soup is one of Nourilo’s simplest recommendations for anyone troubled by hemorrhoids — whether internal or external — particularly when bleeding or discomfort flares up. Paired with wood ear mushrooms (which nourish and move the blood, and support bowel regularity) and dried figs (a gentle digestive aid), the combination is easy to prepare and remarkably soothing.
