How to Select Quality Raphani Semen

When choosing Raphani Semen, look for whole, plump seeds with a uniform brown colour and a characteristic radish-like aroma. The seeds should be free from mould, insects, or foreign matter. This product is naturally dried without chemical processing, preserving the herb's natural potency. The rice paper bag packaging allows the seeds to breathe while protecting them from moisture. Each shipment includes seeds that have been sourced to ensure a consistent and authentic product. Quality seeds will have a fresh, slightly spicy scent and a firm texture.

How to Store Raphani Semen

Proper storage is important to maintain the quality of Raphani Semen. Keep the rice paper bag sealed in a cool, dry place away from heat and moisture. Avoid refrigerating or freezing, as humidity can cause clumping or mould. For best quality, uses within one year of purchase. Always check the seeds for freshness before uses. If stored correctly, the seeds will retain their aroma and flavour for an extended period.

What Is Raphani Semen (Lai Fu Zi)?

Raphani Semen, also known as Lai Fu Zi in TCM, is the dried seed of the radish plant (Raphanus sativus). This 170g package contains naturally dried, whole seeds that are carefully selected for quality. The seeds are packed in a premium rice paper bag, which helps preserve the herb's natural properties while allowing proper air circulation. The radish plant is native to East Asia and has been cultivated for centuries for both culinary and traditional purposes. The seeds are small, round, and brown, with a characteristic radish-like aroma. They are harvested when mature and then naturally dried to maintain their potency. This careful process ensures that the seeds retain their natural characteristics without the uses of chemicals or artificial treatments.

When brewed as tea, Raphani Semen has a mild, slightly spicy and earthy flavour reminiscent of radish. It is not bitter and can be combined with other herbs like ginger or liquorice to enhance its taste, if desired.
