{"title":"Xiao Shi 消食 — sprouted seeds and dried fruits","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe tradition places the Earth Phase at the centre of the body, the one that transforms and distributes. The “Xiao Shi” (消食) family brings together sprouted seeds, ferments and dried fruits — matter of the table as much as of the pharmacopoeia, with sour and sweet flavours.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"pousses-de-millet-germees-gu-ya","title":"Sprouted millet shoots - 谷芽 (Gu Ya)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe grains of foxtail millet (\u003cem\u003eSetaria italica\u003c\/em\u003e) — sometimes of rice (\u003cem\u003eOryza sativa\u003c\/em\u003e), depending on the region — set to sprout before being dried, shoot and all. The grains are moistened and kept warm for a few days, long enough for a rootlet of two or three millimetres to emerge, then the whole is dried gently to halt germination. The product comes as pale yellowish-brown grains, hard and light, capped with fine whitish or greenish shoots that break at the slightest rubbing. The smell is mild, frankly cereal, between malt and toasted bread; the taste is faintly sweet. They are briefly toasted in a pan before being infused for some ten minutes in just-simmering water, or added to congees.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yi Shang Tang","offers":[{"title":"100 g","offer_id":53827591405907,"sku":"BQ-GU-YA-100G","price":7.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1067\/3343\/7267\/files\/gu-ya-dessus-2.jpg?v=1784508189"},{"product_id":"fruits-daubepine-de-chine-shan-zha","title":"Chinese hawthorn fruits - 山楂 (Shan Zha)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe fruits of \u003cem\u003eCrataegus pinnatifida\u003c\/em\u003e, the Chinese hawthorn, distinctly larger than those of the European hawthorn (\u003cem\u003eCrataegus monogyna\u003c\/em\u003e): these are two separate species, and it is indeed the first that is cooked. They are harvested in autumn, at full maturity, when they turn scarlet, then dried whole or cut into rounds that show the pale flesh and the pips. Dried, the slices are red-brown, supple, a little leathery; the taste is frankly tart, the sharpness of an over-ripe apple which an underlying sweetness catches up. The pectin they contain sets jellies and thickens compotes. They are eaten coated in rock sugar on skewers (Tang Hu Lu), as jam, or infused for ten minutes in just-simmering water.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yi Shang Tang","offers":[{"title":"150 g","offer_id":53827591438675,"sku":"BQ-SHAN-ZHA-150G","price":6.8,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1067\/3343\/7267\/files\/shan-zha-dessus-2.jpg?v=1784507945"}],"url":"https:\/\/botaqi.shop\/en\/collections\/xiao-shi.oembed","provider":"BotaQi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
