Tips:
1. The quality requirements of lotus roots: the lotus roots are thick and tender, the meat is crispy and tender, the water is rich and sweet, and the fragrance is better. At the same time, the lotus root body should be free from injury, no rot, no discoloration, no rust spots, no shrinkage, and constant joints; the lotus root body should be protected by a thin layer of mud.
2. Distinguish between safflower and white flower: Generally speaking, safflower has a brownish-yellow outer skin, short and thick in shape, and tastes bitter when eaten raw; white flower has a smooth outer skin, silvery white, and a long and thin body. Raw lotus root tastes sweet. Usually stewed ribs and lotus root soup use safflower lotus root, and stir-fried lotus root slices use white lotus root.
In addition, there is also a common-quality twisted lotus root, which has a rough appearance, is pink, and contains more starch.
