Ready to Cook Lotus Root Peeled

The lotus root is an edible stem that is often used in Asian cuisine.

Lotus rhizomes contain powerful antioxidants that help protect us from disease, and its nutrients boost the health of our digestive and cardiovascular systems. Just like another disease-fighting root called galangal, eating lotus root may help support brain health and reduce inflammation.

The root of the lotus can be used in an array of recipes, from salads to soups and stir fries. When peeled and sliced, it has a slightly nutty flavor and a nice, crunchy bite.
