How to peel the mature lotus seeds from the lotus in a few months?

1 When does the lotus mature? Fresh lotus roots generally begin to fluffy and mature in July and August, and generally come into the market around mid-July, and begin to get old around the end of August, so they taste freshest when they first come into the market, and the newly picked lotus roots are sweeter and more tender.

Lotus will gradually turn black from bright green after September, and the black lotus will be fully mature. We call it old lotus seed, which is also edible. Although its taste is not as fresh and tender as fresh lotus seeds, it also has a special flavor. It tastes very pink and can be used to cook porridge. Cooking porridge with lotus seeds in summer can clear away heat and reduce fire, nourish the heart and soothe the nerves.

How to peel the lotus seeds from the lotus? Many people watch the small honeycomb lotus. They don't know where to start or how to eat. They may carefully tear along one side and break off the lotus seeds that show their heads one by one. This is the problem.

The correct way:

1. First, along the edge of the shower head, remove all the honeycomb protrusions. In this way, you will see that there is only one side left, which is lotus rice one after another, and it is also wrapped in a white fiber film.

2. Then pick the lotus seeds, peel off the white fiber membrane first, then peel off the green shell, and the tender lotus seeds will be exposed and eaten directly, which is slightly sweet.

3 How to choose bright lotus flowers? The skin color is usually bright green (light green), so the lotus seeds in this lotus are sweet. Lotus seeds that have been stored for a long time or are too old are generally yellow or black (moss-colored), and their lotus seeds taste bitter. Don't choose this.

Touch the fresh lotus with your hand. The lotus seeds inside are generally hard. You can know the freshness of the lotus by pressing it with your hand. Not the kind that is neither hard nor soft.

Look at the big lotus. It's usually older. Although there are many fruits, they don't taste good. The small lotus is tender and the fruit is sweet.

Look at the shape and try to pick the sunken lotus heart. This kind of fruit is usually sweet. The green lotus seed heart is sandwiched between lotus seeds. Lotus plumule is the blue-green germ in the center of lotus seed.
