Lotus is a popular food in summer, especially soup, which can replenish blood and soothe the nerves. It is a nourishing food that many people will buy. Fresh lotus seeds just picked are bright green, bright in color and sweet in taste, but once they are left for a few days, the lotus will change color and taste old.
Frozen storage of lotus
Lotus roots can be frozen, which can prolong the shelf life of lotus roots, but it is not recommended to store them in the freezer, because fresh lotus roots contain more water, which may lose nutrients and affect the taste of lotus seeds if stored in a frozen environment for too long, so freezing storage is not recommended.
Freeze or refrigerate in the refrigerator.
You'd better put the lotus in the refrigerator. Although there is a thick lotus room outside the lotus, it is easy to oxidize and turn black after being peeled off, and water will also be lost. Fresh lotus seeds are best kept in a fresh-keeping box and in the refrigerator, so that the delicate flavor of lotus can be preserved for at least three to five days.
Lotus storage method
1, plastic bag preservation: If the lotus is intact, you can put it in a plastic bag, spray some water on it, then tie the bag tightly and put it in the refrigerator.
2. Keep in a fresh-keeping bowl: If the lotus has been peeled, it is best to keep it in a fresh-keeping bowl. Put lotus seeds in a bowl, or peel lotus seeds into a bowl, sprinkle them on the surface, and then store them in the refrigerator.
3. Dry preservation: If lotus leaves want to be preserved for a long time, they can be dried. Take out the lotus seeds from the lotus leaves in advance, peel off the shells and dry them in the sun. If there are lotus seeds that are not bitter, you can take them out when peeling them.
