Lotus root is not only delicious, but also its nutritional value is also loved. At first, people only thought that lotus root had the effects of clearing heat and cooling blood, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, but in fact, it can also replenish qi and blood, stop diarrhea, quench thirst, etc.; it contains a lot of tannins, which can contract blood vessels and can be used to stop bleeding. Lotus root can also cool the blood and disperse blood. Chinese medicine believes that it can stop bleeding without leaving blood stasis. It is a good food therapy for febremia. The lotus root has high nutritional value. It is rich in trace elements such as iron and calcium. It is also rich in plant protein, vitamins and starch. It can obviously replenish qi and blood and enhance human immunity. Therefore, Chinese medicine calls it: "The main body nourishes the middle and nourishes the mind and strengthens the vitality."
It’s best to use it as an appetizer in the summer."
