A crunchy root whose slices reveal a natural lace pattern.
Lotus root is an elongated rhizome whose flesh, once sliced, reveals a very graphic pattern of cavities. Its texture stays crunchy after cooking and its flavour is mild, lightly sweet. It is stir-fried, deep-fried as crisps, braised or marinated, and widely used in Asian cuisines.
