The outer skin of white lotus root is relatively light and the taste is crisp, making it suitable for stir-frying; the outer skin of red lotus root is dark and the skin is thick, making it suitable for making soup and making glutinous rice lotus root. 2. When buying lotus roots, you should choose a lotus root body that is large and short. It is best to have lotus nodes at both ends, so that the inside of the lotus root holes is relatively clean and free of sediment. 3.
