Lotus root nutrition facts

Crunchy, delicate flavored lotus root is an under-water edible rhizome of lotus plant. Since centuries, the lotus rhizome has held high esteem in oriental regions, especially in Chinese and Japanese cultures. Almost all the parts of the plant: root, young flower stalks, and seeds are being used in the cuisine.

Lotus plant is an herbaceous, perennial aquatic plant belonging to Nelumbonaceae family. Scientific name: Nelumbo nucifera.

Lotus root is grown as annual root vegetable crop in customized ponds.

Rhizome activity in the plant usually coincides with the appearance of large floating leaves about 5-6 months after implantation.

Hundred types of fruits were organized for the Khmer weddings!

To make a new couple more fruitful after their wedding, fruits were selected different types to display and illustrate their meanings and goodness that the new couple had to fast get.
