White Hyacinth Bean Whole (Lablab Purpureus)
White Hyacinth Bean Whole (Lablab purpureus) is the mature, dried form of the white variety of hyacinth bean, traditionally used in Chinese medicine and Asian cuisine. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), it is known as Bai Bian Dou (白扁豆) and is prized for its spleen-strengthening, dampness-transforming, and summer-heat-relieving properties.
Bai Bian Dou is commonly used to support digestion, reduce nausea, and help with loose stools due to spleen deficiency or internal dampness. It is also regarded as beneficial for counteracting the effects of heat and humidity, making it a useful addition to herbal formulas during hot seasons when the body is vulnerable to digestive upset.
In culinary and medicinal applications, the beans are often lightly stir-fried or roasted before use to enhance their therapeutic qualities and reduce potential toxicity. They may be included in soups, congees, or decoctions, either alone or as part of a broader herbal formula aimed at fortifying the middle burner and clearing dampness.
Each batch of White Hyacinth Bean Whole (Lablab purpureus) is carefully selected for purity and quality, ideal for use in traditional decoctions, dietary tonics, or summer heat support blends. Its mild, slightly sweet flavor makes it a versatile addition to both herbal and culinary preparations.
