Dry lotus seeds are dried lotus seeds formed by air drying. Usually, when the fruit is ripe in autumn, the lotus is cut, the fruit is taken out, and then peeled and dried.

The surface of dried lotus seeds is yellow-brown to reddish-brown, with thin longitudinal stripes and wide veins. The seed coat is hard and thin, and it is not easy to peel off. Cotyledons are yellow and white, thick, with gaps in the middle and green plumula, which tastes bitter. Dry lotus seeds are dry and hard, so they need to be soaked for a long time, otherwise the nutrients will not be soaked.

The method of removing the core of lotus seeds:

1. Dried lotus seeds with cores removed: You can pick up the soft boiled lotus seeds and use a toothpick to pop them out of the center of the bottom of the lotus seeds.

2, fresh lotus seeds to the core: you can pull the lotus seeds by hand and take out the green lotus seeds in the middle of the lotus seeds.

3. There are other ways to remove the lotus seed core: boil the lotus seed until soft, put it in boiling water, add old alkali and stir it evenly, soak it for 2-3 minutes, and knead the lotus seed to separate it from the lotus seed core.
