The green shoots in the middle of the lotus seed can be eaten.

The green shoots, also called lotus core, or lotus heart, are the young leaves and embryonic roots in the mature seeds of the perennial aquatic herb lotus of the water lily family. When harvesting lotus seeds in the fall, the seeds are peeled open and the green embryo (lotus heart) is removed and dried in the sun.
