In Guangdong province, because its taste is similar to cotton, lotus fruit is vividly called "cotton fruit" by local people. It has a lot of water, fresh and juicy taste, light taste, moderate sweetness and slightly sour taste. It has an apple-like fragrance that lasts for a long time and will linger in your mouth after eating.

The immature fruit of lotus root may taste sour, and the taste is not as sweet and juicy as the mature fruit. This is mainly because the immature fruit of lotus root contains high organic acids, while sugar and other sweet substances are relatively few. Therefore, if the lotus spray is not fully mature, its taste may be astringent and sour. It should be noted that the navel of lotus fog may have some immature taste, so you can start eating from a small end when eating to avoid eating the astringent part.
