Why people make this sweet soup

Passing a modern Chinese herbal shop, Nourilo noticed the shelves neatly lined with clear plastic jars of herbs, making it easy to see the ingredients, quantities and their traditional uses. One jar held “snow lotus seeds” — a clever, appealing name for the seeds from the pods of a gleditsia tree.

With their attractive translucent appearance, snow lotus seeds become thick and pleasantly chewy after cooking, making them popular in sweet soups. Here Nourilo combines them with lotus seeds, goji berries and red dates in this “Three-Seed and Red Date Sweet Soup”, traditionally enjoyed to support the spleen and nourish the complexion.
