China — national tradition, Buddhist and imperial palace origins
Ba bao zhou (八宝粥) — eight treasure congee — is the most celebrated Chinese medicinal food dish, eaten particularly on the seventh day of the lunar new year (Laba). Eight (or more) nourishing ingredients are simmered together: red dates, lotus seeds, longan, goji berries, peanuts, different glutinous rice varieties, barley, and dried lily. Each ingredient carries TCM health properties.
