First, you must choose lotus roots with normal color. The color of lotus root is milky white with a little yellowish. If the lotus root is white or black, it means that the lotus root is broken and can no longer be eaten.

Second, choose the one with the big hole. Lotus root has a round hole, and the bigger the hole, the better. The bigger the hole, the more mature the lotus root, the richer the water and the richer the nutrition, which is more suitable for people to eat.

Third, choose a smaller one, which is a little dirty. The wet soil of lotus root indicates that this lotus root may have just been fished out of the river, so it is relatively fresh. Smaller lotus roots are tender, and they taste better with slogans.

But buying small lotus roots doesn't mean buying short and fat ones. Under normal circumstances, the short and fat lotus root will be older. That kind of lotus root is not as delicious as the long lotus root and it is not so nutritious.

At the same time, when selecting lotus roots, we must pay attention to the kind of lotus roots with smooth and full surface and good nutrition.
