WANG Lotus Root, Sliced 500g – The Asian insider tip for your kitchen
Share
Lotus root – also known as lian'ou (蓮藕) – has been one of the most popular ingredients in Asian cuisine for centuries. However, in Germany, it's still a real insider tip. It not only has a lot to offer from a culinary perspective, but also boasts numerous health benefits.
What is lotus root?
The lotus root is the tuberous rhizome of the lotus flower, which grows primarily in shallow waters in Asia. Its distinctive structure—with its characteristic hole patterns—makes it unique both visually and in terms of taste. It has a mild, slightly sweet flavor and remains pleasantly crisp when cooked.
Versatile use in the kitchen
Whether fried, steamed or in soups – lotus root is an all-rounder:
- Fried lotus root chips: Thinly sliced and fried in oil, a perfect snack.
- In soups & stews: Adds depth and bite.
- Salads with lotus root: Pickled in vinegar for a fresh touch.
The sliced version saves you time and effort in preparation.
Health benefits
In addition to its unique taste, lotus root also offers many health benefits:
- Rich in fiber → supports digestion
- High vitamin C content → strengthens the immune system
- Contains potassium and iron → important for heart and blood formation
It is therefore ideal for anyone who wants to eat healthily and consciously.
