The ancients said that eating lotus seeds can rejuvenate and live forever. This is definitely not credible, but its medicinal value in nourishing the heart and calming the nerves, strengthening the brain and improving the intelligence, and eliminating fatigue has been recorded in many medical classics of the past dynasties. For example, there is evidence in "Shennong Materia Medica","Materia Medica","Compendium of Materia Medica", and "Materia Medica Beiyao". Modern pharmacological research has also confirmed that lotus seeds have multiple effects such as calming, heart-strengthening, and anti-aging. Lotus seeds are very rich in nutrients. In addition to containing a large amount of starch, they also contain β-sitosterol, alkaloids and rich minerals and vitamins such as calcium, phosphorus, and iron. Every 100 grams of lotus seeds contain 89 mg of calcium and 285 mg of phosphorus. Although potassium is less than 2.1 mg, it ranks first among all animal and plant foods.
