Cooking dishes:
Caoguo powder is often used in stews, stir-fries and pickled foods, especially in southern Chinese cuisines such as Sichuan and Hunan cuisine.
It can also be used to cook soups, usually together with other spices such as star anise, cinnamon, etc.
Because the flavor is strong, only a small amount is usually needed.
In addition to traditional Chinese cuisine, it can also be used in creative cuisine and Western cuisine, such as in meat stews or added to curries and risotto.

**Grass fruit powder is a multi-purpose seasoning suitable for various dishes. However, due to its relatively strong flavor, portions need to be carefully controlled when using it so as not to overpower the flavors of other ingredients.
