Black dates are known for boosting energy, supporting digestion, nourishing the blood, and strengthening the body. Snow fungus helps moisten the lungs, relieve dryness, and soothe coughs, especially those caused by dry lungs. Lotus seeds are good for the heart and kidneys. When cooked together as a dessert, these ingredients create a delicious and nourishing treat.
