Tips:
*. Firstly, it depends on the size of the slices. Choose a large and even surface. The quality of the meat and fat is better. The slices are too small and thin. They may be tender slices that have been picked too early, and they will become sticky after a long cooking time. Look at its exterior color, it should be jade white, and the surface should be clean and free of spots. When choosing, pay attention that the outer color should not be too white. If the color is too white, it may be processed and dried after being smoked with sulfur, so that it will taste sour.
*First of all, look at the color of the lotus seeds. Bleached lotus seeds are actually easy to identify. If it looks white at a glance, and all the colors are uniform and visually beautiful, then it must have been bleached. Because when the best lotus seeds are not bleached, they are actually dried in the sun or dried in a dryer. It is impossible for all the lotus seeds dried in this way to be all dazzling white, let alone so. Unite.
*The second is the taste of lotus seeds. When choosing lotus seeds, you can try to smell it. The bleached lotus seeds definitely don't have the kind of light fragrance that the lotus seeds have. The bleached lotus seeds will smell a little pungent, while the real dried lotus seeds will have a strong fragrance. Of course, the best lotus seeds, unbleached, are actually a bit yellowish in color.
*Finally, you can listen to the sound of lotus seeds. Many people know that lotus seeds must be very dry in order to be stored for a long time, and very dry lotus seeds will have a very crisp sound as long as they are grasped; some illegal businesses will add a small amount to the dried lotus seeds before selling. The water can increase the weight of the lotus seeds. Although this is not visible on the surface, it is easy to distinguish as long as you grab a hand and listen to the sound.
