Daylily is the floorboard of dried flower buds of Hemerocallis liliaceae. It is cultivated in all parts of China, mostly in the south of Qinling Mountains, and mainly produced in Hunan, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Hubei, Sichuan, Gansu, Shaanxi and other places. In addition, grasslands in Jilin, Guangdong and Inner Mongolia are also produced.

Day lily has a good brain-strengthening and anti-aging effect, because it is rich in lecithin, which is a component of many cells in the body, especially brain cells, and plays an important role in enhancing and improving brain function. At the same time, it can clear the deposits in arteries, and has special effects on symptoms such as inattention, memory loss and cerebral artery occlusion, so people call it "brain-nourishing dish".

According to another study, day lily can significantly reduce the serum cholesterol content, which is beneficial to the rehabilitation of patients with hypertension and can be used as a health care vegetable for patients with hypertension. Daylily also contains effective components that can inhibit the growth of cancer cells, and rich crude fiber can promote the excretion of feces, so it can be used as food for preventing and treating intestinal cancer.
