Fritillary Bulb Steamed Egg

Why people make this steamed egg

When the weather turns cool and the air grows dry, people with weaker constitutions often find themselves battling a scratchy throat, persistent dry cough, or the uncomfortable sensation of phlegm stuck at the back of the throat. This is especially common for older adults or those who have smoked for years. In traditional Chinese food therapy, this simple steamed egg with fritillary bulb powder has long been a go-to home remedy — easy to make, gentle on the stomach, and traditionally valued for clearing heat from the respiratory tract and helping to loosen phlegm.

Safety first — read before you cook
