The meaning of lotus seeds is to have many children and grandchildren, and to have noble sons in succession.

The pronunciation of lotus seed is very similar to "lianzi", so it has the meaning of having many children and grandchildren, and having many noble sons. It is as noble as the lotus in many people's hearts, so it also symbolizes a holy character that is untainted from the mud. In addition, it also has the representative meaning of love and pity.

"Lotus seed" means "pity son", which is a metaphor for the love for the lover. "Lotus" is homophonic to "pity", and "pity" means "love", which means love. Expressed in ancient poetry, there are straightforward emotions, pure feelings, undying love, etc.

How to use lotus seeds

1. Eat them raw: The simplest and most common way to eat lotus seeds is to eat them raw. Raw lotus seeds taste sweet and crisp, and they are not nutritious. The only drawback is that the lotus heart inside the lotus seeds tastes bitter, so when we eat raw lotus seeds, we must remove the lotus heart inside it in advance.

2. Cook porridge: Lotus seed porridge is a delicious and nutritious food. To make it, you need to soak the glutinous rice in water for twenty minutes and then put it into a pot to cook, and then clean it. Put the lotus seeds into it and cook it together with the glutinous rice. Finally, add rock sugar to taste and it is ready to eat.
