It is mild in nature, sweet in taste, and has the effect of warming the stomach and strengthening the spleen. It is one of the delicious dried fruits often used as soup dishes by folk in Guangdong and Hong Kong. Also known as Sterculia fruit or Phoenix Eye fruit, it looks like a black-shelled egg. The fruit is rich in starch, fat, sugar, protein and a variety of vitamins. After boiling or frying, it tastes like chestnut. The cooked food has a fragrant aroma of sippy and can be used as a cooking ingredient. It was mentioned in "Journey to the West" that Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty hosted a feast to entertain the Tang Priest and his disciples who had returned from the scriptures. Stercupo fruit was one of the delicious delicacies. Sterculia fruits also have certain therapeutic value. It is said that Hai Rui, a loyal minister in the Ming Dynasty, was seriously ill and was given a basket of Sterculia fruits by a friend. He made porridge several times and took it, and his body soon recovered. Sterculia leaves can give off a faint aroma and are favored by farmers in Huizhou, Guangdong. They are often used to wrap glutinous rice cakes and feed them.
