Lily buds

Lily buds, also known as tiger lily buds, flowers, stems, or golden needles, are the dried unopened flowers of yellow and orange daylilies. They have a subtle floral aroma and flavor and are pleasantly chewy. Look for lily buds that are pale golden and pliable and avoid any browned or brittle buds. Lily buds are available in most Asian markets or online at www.amazon.com.
