What is Chicken Poop Vine?

When people hear the name "Chicken Poop Vine," many may not realize that it is actually a traditional pastry. The name comes from the plant's leaves, which emit a grassy, green odor similar to chicken manure when crushed. In fact, some people also refer to it as "Qing Ming Zai" because it is commonly seen during the Qing Ming Festival.

 

Chicken Poop Vine is a type of Chinese medicinal herb, with a mild and sweet taste and a neutral nature. It is believed to have various health benefits, such as clearing heat, detoxification, promoting blood circulation, and reducing swelling. When used to make pastries, it transforms into green tea cakes speckled with Chinese herbal spots. Pastry chefs usually shape them into five small balls and steam them, making them look like flowers. Despite its name, Chicken Poop Vine has a fragrant aroma, a chewy texture, and many health benefits. Some people even use it to make medicinal baths to soothe eczema or reduce skin itching, while others make it into a sweet soup in Guangxi.

 

However, Chicken Poop Vine is still relatively cold in nature, so pregnant women and those with spleen and stomach deficiencies should avoid eating it. Excessive consumption may cause spleen and stomach deficiencies and dizziness, so be sure to pay attention.
