Lotus root contains carbs, asparagine, arginine, etc., and is rich in vitamin C, so it is good for relieving fatigue and preventing colds. Lotus root browns easily because it touches the air, but the color becomes white if you add a little vinegar when boiling. A good lotus root is a light yellow color with no scratches on the lotus root skin and completely joints, and a short, thick, and straight joints. When storing lotus roots, wrap them in newspapers with dirt and store them in the refrigerator.
