Matters needing attention when eating lotus root:

1, people with spleen deficiency and stomach cold, and those who are prone to diarrhea should not eat raw lotus root, which is cold, and it is difficult to digest raw cold salad, which hinders the spleen and stomach, so cooked lotus root should be eaten.

2, black, smelly lotus root should not be eaten. You should choose the lotus root with yellowish brown skin, thick and white meat, and pay attention to it without injury, rot and rust spots, and without shrinking or discoloration.

3, lotus root is best not to eat raw. Some lotus roots are parasitic with ginger leaf worms, which can easily cause ginger leaf worms. When people eat raw lotus root with metacercariae, the metacercariae will develop into adults in the small intestine, and the adults will attach to the intestinal mucosa, which will cause intestinal injury and ulcer, abdominal pain, diarrhea and indigestion, and children will also have facial edema, developmental retardation and mental retardation.

4, avoid using iron when cooking lotus root, so as not to make lotus root black during cooking.

5. Cut lotus roots should not be stored directly. The uncut lotus root can be kept at room temperature for a week, but the cut part of the lotus root is easy to turn black and rot, so the cut lotus root should be covered with plastic wrap and refrigerated for about a week.

6. Soybeans and lotus roots should not be eaten together. Soybean is rich in iron, so it can't be eaten with lotus root which contains much cellulose, because cellulose will affect the absorption of iron by human body.
