Solomon's Seal Rhizome is the edible rhizome of the Solomon's Seal plant used in East Asian and traditional herbal cuisines, often prepared boiled, steamed or added to soups for its mild, slightly sweet starchiness and medicinal reputation. It is modestly starchy and valued more for texture and traditional uses than as a major staple.
Nutritionally it contributes a small amount of protein and is a useful source of dietary fiber, providing about 3g per 100g, which can help with fullness and digestive regularity. It is also low in fat and contains some vitamin and mineral content that complements its use in soups and broths.
From a health perspective, Solomon's Seal rhizome is a filling, low-fat plant food with a good protein quality for a tuber and useful fiber content; it is not a concentrated source of antioxidant carotenoids or polyphenols, but can be a nutritious, mild-flavored addition to balanced meals.
