1. If you wash the lotus seeds first, then put them into boiling water, add an appropriate amount of alkali, stir evenly and simmer for a while, then pour them into a rice basket and rub them vigorously, they can be quickly removed. Lotus seed bark. Wash the lotus seeds and boil them in water for about 15 minutes. After the lotus seeds become soft, pick them up and use a toothpick to easily pick out the core of the lotus seeds, while the original shape of the lotus seeds will remain unchanged.

2. Use a knife or scissors to draw a circle across the middle of the lotus seeds until clear knife marks appear on the lotus seed shells. (Generally, vendors will use special tools to help you complete this step.) Break open the shell and take out the whole lotus seed. Pass a toothpick through the middle of the lotus seed to bring out the heart of the lotus seed, and pull out the heart of the lotus seed with your hands.
