There are two kinds of lilies, fresh and dried, which are rich in protein, fat, norcolchicine, calcium, phosphorus, iron and vitamins. They are nutriments suitable for all ages. Lily is used as a tonic to stop bleeding, promote blood circulation, clear lung-heat, moisten dryness, nourish yin and clear heat, regulate spleen and strengthen stomach. Lily used as medicine, especially wild lily, is sweet and bitter in taste, slightly cold in nature, and enters the heart and lungs, which is a tonic. Modern research shows that lily has obvious antitussive, antiasthmatic and hemostatic effects, which can improve lymphocyte transformation rate and increase the activity of humoral immune function. Lily can also inhibit the growth of tumors.

Lotus seeds have the effect of reducing fire, and are rich in protein, fat and carbohydrates. Lotus seeds are rich in calcium, phosphorus and potassium, which can not only constitute the components of bones and teeth, but also promote blood coagulation, activate certain enzymes, maintain nerve conduction, calm nerves, maintain muscle elasticity and heartbeat rhythm.

They are all medicinal and edible ingredients that can be eaten together, but Coix seed, lotus seed and lily are cold in nature and taste, so women with cold constitution should eat less and pregnant women should not eat them.
