白扁豆·Semen Lablab Album
Lablab
Bai Bian Dou (白扁豆) is the bean of the white hyacinth bean, a legume, recorded as Semen Lablab Album. It is sweet in flavour and neutral in temperature, enters the Spleen and Stomach channels, and is filed among the herbs that tonify Qi. Only the dry-fried bean is used: the raw one carries a lectin that thorough heating destroys and soaking does not.
