Lotus Seeds
Monday, June 14th, 2010Chinese believed that Lotus Seeds is nutritious and is also a good medicinal food to clear body heat and enhance stamina.
Lotus Seeds that is sold in the market are usually dried and hard that you need to soak it overnight to make it soft and eatable.
Lotus Seeds can also be prepared in other ways especially in lotus paste form which is used extensively in Chinese pastries, or cooked in syrup and crystallized into candies. But the most common use of Lotus Seeds is still as an ingredients in Chinese cooking especially for soup, broth, stew with meat or stir-fry with vegetables.
