Frequently asked questions

  • What is lotus root?

    Lotus root is the edible rhizome of the lotus plant, with a crunchy texture, mild sweetness and a pattern of air channels that show as holes in slices. It is common in Chinese, Japanese and Korean cooking.

  • How do you cook lotus root?

    Peel fresh lotus root, slice it and simmer it in soup, stir-fry it, braise it or fry it. Boiled and sliced lotus root is ready to add to stir-fries and salads.

  • What does lotus root taste like?

    Lotus root tastes mildly sweet and slightly earthy. It stays crunchy in stir-fries and turns soft and starchy when simmered for a long time.

  • What is the difference between lotus root and lotus root starch?

    Lotus root is the whole vegetable, while lotus root starch or powder is a fine flour made from the root, used for thickening and sweet drinks. Weee! lists Shen Dacheng Lotus Root Powder and Lotus Root Starch separately.

  • Where can I buy lotus root near me?

    Weee! delivers Asian and Hispanic groceries to your door in many U.S. areas; enter your ZIP code at weee.com to see availability and delivery options. Lotus root on Weee! includes Fresh Lotus Root and Shirakiku Sliced Lotus Roots, Frozen.

  • How do I stop lotus root from turning brown?

    Soak sliced lotus root in cold water with a little vinegar or lemon juice right after cutting. This slows browning and keeps the slices bright.

  • How should I store lotus root?

    Wrap fresh lotus root in paper or plastic and refrigerate it, using it within a few days once cut. Keep frozen lotus root frozen until ready to use, as the package directs.

  • Is frozen or boiled lotus root as good as fresh?

    Frozen or boiled lotus root saves peeling and prep time and works well in stir-fries and simmered dishes, while fresh lotus root gives the crispest bite. Weee! lists both.
