Product Information

Lotus root has a high vitamin C content. Studies show that vitamin C promotes your skin’s health in various ways, thanks to its antioxidant component. Nothing is more appropriate for celebrating springtime than lotus root stir fry, a famous Cantonese dish that uses lotus root along with several colorful vegetables to create a light vegetable dish that’s full of color and amazing textures. The Chinese name of lotus root stir fry is He Tang Xiao Chao, which can be translated literally as lotus pond stir fry. Traditionally the dish is made from several vegetables that grow in the mud, such as lotus and yam. When in season, some Chinese restaurants serve this dish on a piece of lotus leaf layered on a serving dish, further enhancing the fragrance.

"The yield and chemical composition of lotus seed on different culture conditions". Hubei J TCM. 32: 75–76. Lotus plants are adapted to grow in the flood plains of slow-moving rivers and delta areas. Stands of lotus drop hundreds of thousands of seeds every year to the bottom of the pond. While some sprout immediately, and most are eaten by wildlife, the remaining seeds can remain dormant for an extensive period of time as the pond silts in and dries out. During flood conditions, sediments containing these seeds are broken open, and the dormant seeds rehydrate and begin a new lotus colony.

Add vegetable oil, the lotus root, ½ teaspoon sugar and some salt. Cook for 5 minutes until the root vegetable begins to soften. Lotus seeds are mostly oval or spherical, with sizes varying according to varieties. They are generally 1.2–1.8cm long, with diameters ranging from 0.8 to 1.4cm and a weight of 1.1–1.4 g. After lotus seeds have been decorticated and peeled, they are edible and rich in nutrients and can be dried for storage. Their nutritional values can differ due to culture environments and varieties. [88] A fertilized lotus flower bears fruit that contains a cluster of 10 to 30 seeds. Each seed is ovoid 1–2.5 cm wide by 1–1.5 cm long with a brownish coat. [21] :132 Lotus seeds can remain viable after long periods of dormancy. In 1994, a seed from a sacred lotus, dated at roughly 1,300 years old ± 270 years, was successfully germinated. [22] [23]

Place approximately 1 teaspoon of the filling in the center of one lotus root slice, and then cover it with another slice. There are many ways to put a lotus root stir fry together. One of the most common and popular ways includes lotus root, snow peas, carrot and wood ear mushrooms. Other vegetables such as peppers, celtuce, yam, and lily flower pedals are often used as well. In my recipe, I tried to use minimal ingredients that yield the best texture. But do feel free to replace them with other vegetables you have on hand. Lotus root Lotus roots, also known as kamal kakdi, are a versatile food that has long been a staple of Indian and Asian cuisines. They are high in vitamins and minerals such as vitamin B6, C, thiamin, pantothenic acid, zinc, potassium, phosphorus, copper, iron, and manganese. Lotus root includes compounds that reduce swelling, destroy cancer cells and bacteria, lower blood sugar, aid fat breakdown, and protect the heart and blood arteries, among other things. In addition, lotus root chemicals preserve the skin, liver, and brain. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) Q. What are the health benefits of lotus root? Some of the antioxidant compounds in lotus include kaempferol, catechin, chlorogenic acid, and quercetin. The antioxidant activity of lotus appears to be most concentrated in its seeds and leaves ( 6, 7, 8). Zi Xi, Lian (2011).

Vitamin C is present in abundance in our skin. This vitamin increases collagen production, protects the skin from free radical and ultraviolet damage, and aids in reversing ageing indications. Vitamin C also helps reduce hyperpigmentation symptoms such as dark spots and skin discolouration.

Lotus plants thrive in the mud of shallow ponds, marshes, lagoons, and flooded fields and are native to Asia, Australia, New Guinea, and portions of the Middle East. Lotus roots get procured from early August to late September. In traditional farming, farmers feel for rhizomes with their toes and dig them out with their hands. The lotus plant is edible in almost every aspect. The leaves, seeds, flowers, fruit, and rhizomes of Lotus are all edible and have medicinal properties.

Nelumbo nucifera shows high potential for usage in wastewater treatment removing polluting compounds [58] and heavy metals. [59] [60] [61] It is able to grow in variable water conditions [62] and in low light intensity. [58] Various studies show the successful use of N. nucifera to counteract water eutrophication. [58] [63] The leaves of the floating lotus reduce sunlight reaching the lower part of the water. This suppresses algae growth in N. nucifera aquatic systems and thus, the oxygen content is up to 20% higher than in other aquatic plant systems. [58] Due to intense agricultural practices, nitrogen and phosphorus pollution are major problems in aquatic systems. N. nucifera is able to assimilate a higher content of phosphorus than aquatic plants currently used for water remediation (such as water hyacinth). It also assimilates nitrogen (" denitrification") and creates a habitat for bacterial growth in the water body. [58] Through rhizofiltration, heavy metals – including arsenic, copper, and cadmium – can be removed efficiently from the water. [59] [60] The results observed are impressive showing 96% of copper and 85% cadmium metals removed after a seven-day incubation period. [60] The accumulation of heavy metals doesn't show morphological symptoms of metal toxicity; [61] however, the rhizome quality for human consumption needs further study.

The most widely used system is crop rotation with rice and vegetables. This system is applicable if the propagule (small piece of rhizome) can be planted early in the year. The rhizomes are harvested in July, after which rice can be planted in the same field. Rice is then harvested in October. From November until March, the field stays either free or terricolous vegetables, such as cabbage or spinach, are planted. Alternatively, the vegetable can also be planted after the harvest of the lotus. [40] The intake of lotus root boosts energy levels by improving blood circulation. It also includes vitamin C, which helps to boost immunity and promotes skin health, thanks to its antioxidant component. It also aids in the control of bowel movements. In addition, niacin (Vitamin B3) is a B vitamin that helps with energy production, mental wellness, and nervous system function. Homemade Recipes for Lotus Root Baked Lotus Root Chips The seed production of flower lotus is typically poor regarding yield and quality. Flower types differ in the number of petals (single petals, double petals, or multi-petals) and their colours range from single colour in white, yellow, pink, and red to bi-colour, most often of white petals with pink tips or highlights. [37] Lotus root is a rich source of dietary fibre. Dietary fibre regulates energy intake, thus enhancing weight loss or maintaining healthy body weight. Studies show that increasing dietary fibre consumption may decrease energy absorption by diluting a diet’s energy availability while preserving other vital nutrients. Furthermore, a high-fibre diet keeps you full and satisfied for extended periods, which may help you lose weight. Regulates Blood Pressure

What is Lotus Root?

While these results suggest that parts of the lotus plant help fight inflammation, studies in humans are needed. Summary Researchers report that the lotus has the remarkable ability to regulate the temperature of its flowers within a narrow range, just as humans and other warm-blooded animals do. [19] Roger S. Seymour and Paul Schultze-Motel, physiologists at the University of Adelaide in Australia, found that lotus flowers blooming in the Adelaide Botanic Gardens maintained a temperature of 30–35°C (86–95°F), even when the air temperature dropped to 10°C (50°F). They suspect the flowers may be doing this to attract cold-blooded insect pollinators. Studies published in the journals Nature and Philosophical Transactions: Biological Sciences in 1996 and 1998 were important contributions in the field of thermoregulation in plants. Two other species known to be able to regulate their temperature include Symplocarpus foetidus [20] and Philodendron selloum.
