Notes on eating lotus root
1. Raw lotus root is not suitable for those with spleen deficiency and stomach cold, and those who are prone to diarrhea. Raw lotus root is cold, and it is difficult to digest raw lotus root, which is harmful to the spleen and stomach, so it is suitable to eat mature lotus root.
2. Do not use iron when cooking lotus root, so as not to make it black during cooking.
3. Cut lotus root should not be stored directly. The uncut lotus root can be kept at room temperature for a week, but because the lotus root is easy to turn black and the part of the cut face is easy to rot, so the cut lotus root should be covered with a fresh-keeping film at the incision, and refrigerated for about a week.
4. Soybean and lotus root should not be eaten together. Soybeans are rich in iron and cannot be eaten together with lotus root which contains more cellulose, because cellulose will affect the absorption of iron by human body.
5. Pig liver and lotus root should not be eaten together. Lotus root contains cellulose. Aldose acid in the fiber can form a mixture with iron, copper, zinc and other trace elements in pig liver, which can reduce the absorption of these elements by human body.
