Tips before cooking daylily (golden needle flower)




The daylily (金针花)or golden needle flower is widely available especially in cameron highlands market. Normally it comes in packets. One packet can average from RM1.70 - RM3. As you can see from photos above, you should snap out the inner core which is white in color. This is actually the stem of the flower before it bloom. This is told by the farmers & vege sellers. Those who has weak digestion might get diarrhoea if the core is not removed prior cooking. It's pretty easy to remove the core, just bend the 'head' and let it snap a little then pull it out, like the photo above. Anyway, this is a great vege dish :)
