Fresh Lotus Root 500g

Lotus root is the edible underground stem (rhizome) of the lotus plant, an aquatic plant commonly grown in ponds and wetlands across Asia. The root is cylindrical and brown on the outside, but when sliced it reveals a distinctive pattern of round holes. Lotus root has a mild, slightly sweet flavor and a crisp, crunchy texture that remains firm even after cooking. It is widely used in Asian cuisines in dishes such as stir-fries, soups, salads, and pickles. The vegetable is also nutritious, providing dietary fiber, vitamin C, vitamin B6, potassium, and other minerals. Its unique texture and ability to absorb flavors make it a versatile ingredient.
