Fresh Raw LOTUS ROOTs
Fresh Raw Lotus Roots at market :
Sorts :
7-hole lotus root and 9-hole lotus root have high medicinal value
Its roots, leaves, flowers and fruits can be nourished and used as medicine.
The lotus flower is the flower of the lotus, the lotus seed is the fruit of the lotus, and the lotus root is the "underground stem" of the lotus
Pick :
The fatter and shorter the lotus root joints,
the more mature and the better the taste
Tip :

How to select an excellent one ?
If you want to eat cold and crisp lotus root,
choose the 3rd and 4th sections near the germination point( normally this is for stir salad );
if you like softness, choose the 1st and 2nd sections near the root ( normally this is for soup).
Note : if you can not identify which is 1st, 4th .....
any part will do. Just cook it 😆😍
------------------------------------------------
Dark center hole means stale.
The lotus root has been out of the water for more than 4 days. When the hole in the center turns black when cut, it is not fresh. It is best to cook it within 3 days to maintain freshness, otherwise the lotus root will start to rot on the 7th day.
Slice and freeze
within 3 days for freshness.
If the lotus root you bought cannot be eaten up quickly, you can boil and freeze the lotus root within 3 days, and reheat it when you want to eat it. Or buy it and wash it, then slice it and freeze it. When it’s time to cook, you don’t need to thaw it, just put it in water to make soup or scald it for cold dressing, it won’t affect the taste.

XX❌
Do ＮＯＴ use metal pot to cook it. 🚫
Lotus roots will become purple
because of ｏｘｉｄａｔｉｏｎ
( as Apple ). :
Lotus roots turned to be " Purple "
