Cautions — read first

  • [CLINICAL] Buy the DRIED buds, which is the form the tradition uses and the form sold here. Fresh, undried daylily buds contain colchicine-like compounds and have caused poisoning; drying and cooking is what makes them a food. Widely stocked in Australian Asian grocers, for example Henghui Dried Lily Flowers 100g at Umall and Golden Bai Wei 100g at Homie.
