• We love Codonopsis for its incredible ability to harmonize flavors. Unlike other bolder herbs, Dang Shen provides a gentle, mellow sweetness that rounds out the taste of chicken and pork broths. It is the ultimate "comfort ingredient" for anyone seeking to explore the depths of traditional Chinese herbal cuisine. Its flexible, sliced or whole form makes it incredibly easy to prepare for any traditional recipe.

• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. In Australia’s humid summer months, we highly recommend storing Codonopsis in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain its natural sweetness and prevent spoilage.
