Sweet glutinous rice lotus root
After the beginning of autumn, fresh lotus root became one of the must-have dishes for people's family banquets. Now is the season to eat lotus root. Glutinous rice lotus root is an indispensable dish at family banquets during the National Day holiday.
Lotus root contains starch, protein, asparagine, vitamin C and oxidase components, and has a high sugar content. Eating fresh lotus root can clear heat and relieve annoyance, quench thirst and stop vomiting; if fresh lotus root is squeezed to obtain juice, the effect is even greater. Cooked lotus root is sweet and warm in nature, appetizing, nourishing blood and replenishing the heart. Therefore, it is mainly used to nourish the five internal organs and has the effects of digestion, quenching thirst and promoting muscle growth.
Glutinous rice lotus root is not difficult to make, but it is a bit troublesome. You need to be patient when doing it.
