Should I choose a big one or a small one when I go to the market to buy lotus flowers? Many people don't know how to choose, and the lotus leaves bought back waste money and affect the taste. It is very likely that you will encounter a hollow or astringent taste, so choosing a good quality lotus leaf directly determines the quality of lotus seeds.
To buy a good lotus, you can't choose too big or too small. If it is too big, the lotus seeds inside may be old. If it is too small, it is probably hollow. You must choose one as big as our palms. Another conscientious vegetable farmer will share with us the correct method of selecting lotus seeds. Remember "1 Look at 2 pinch and 3 weigh", and the lotus seeds bought are full and sweet.
1 Look: Look at the color of the lotus. If it is black or the edge is broken, we still don't want to buy such a lotus. The lotus seeds inside may go bad, which will directly affect our taste.
2. Pinch by hand: When buying lotus, we pinch lotus seeds by hand. If you squeeze it hard with your hands, it means that the fruit is full and tastes particularly sweet. If it feels soft with your hands, it is not recommended that you buy such lotus flowers. It is very likely that the lotus seeds inside are not fully mature.
3, hand balance: fresh lotus must have a certain weight in our hands, if the quality is not good or the lotus has been placed for a long time, the weight in our hands is relatively light, so when we buy lotus, we must pick up two lotus flowers of the same size and put them in our hands, and don't buy the light one. As long as you master these skills, you can eat full and sweet lotus seeds.
