Since ancient times, Chinese people have regarded lotus seeds as precious food, and they are still high-grade nourishing nutrition. Many places specialize in producing lotus seeds.
Lotus root is the best vegetable and preserved fruit.

Leaves are substitutes for tea and are also used as packaging materials.
The underground stem of lotus grows in the soil and will be infected by toxic substances. Because the extremely fine epidermis tissue and tannin-containing lower epidermis of lotus root have certain barrier or absorption ability to toxic substances, most toxic substances adhere to or penetrate into the epidermis.
Peel the lotus root when eating to prevent toxic substances from being eaten in the stomach.
Second, the ornamental value of lotus

The jade pavilions on the bridge are patchwork, simple and elegant in shape, exquisite and unique, which set each other off with the lotus flowers in the lake.
