Nelumbinis Semen, also known as Lotus seeds, are the dried, mature seeds of the sacred lotus plant (Nelumbo nucifera). These mild, slightly sweet seeds have been valued for centuries in traditional Asian cuisine and herbal practices.
Lotus seeds are incredibly versatile and can be enjoyed in both sweet and savory recipes. Add them to soups, teas, desserts, porridges, or rice dishes for a unique texture and subtle flavor. They can also be simmered until soft or ground into flour for baking and specialty recipes.
