Lotus seeds taste fragrant when eaten raw, but don't eat more, so as not to affect the spleen and stomach and cause diarrhea. It is best to take out the lotus seed core in the middle before eating, because the core is bitter and not delicious. Lotus seed cores can be collected and soaked in water to clear the heart. Sun-dried lotus seeds can also be eaten in theory, but they are hard and have a bad taste, and are only suitable for porridge and snacks. Lotus seeds on the market are all dried after the lotus plumule is removed, so it is best not to eat them raw.

How many fresh lotus seeds should I eat at a time?

I suggest you eat at most one lotus flower.

1, tender fresh lotus seeds can be eaten raw and taste as sweet and tender as fruit. Older fresh lotus seeds are not suitable for raw food, and have a bad taste and are difficult to digest.

2. When eating fresh lotus seeds raw, it is best to remove the lotus seed core first, because the lotus seed core is bitter, and eating too many lotus seed cores at one time may make you feel uncomfortable. The lotus seed core can be used to make tea, and about 2 grams of lotus seed core can be taken to make tea every day.
