What else you need to know:

This is another food item that has a place of use in Chinese Medicine as a nutritive and restorative tonic to help people regain their strength after illness or a long, febrile state.

Suggested usage:

This "herb" is food, so there is no "dosage" as such. It was traditionally added to soups and stews in dry, desert like climate across Northern China and outlying steppes; today, recipes and ideas for incorporating this nourishing fruit are many-- you can make tea, cook it into hot cereal, use it as an ingredient in marinades, moisten and macerate them into pulp to make a dessert like applesauce, infuse them some vinegar to make a wonderful digestif, bake them into a pie, etc... the list goes on!
