The lotus seeds on the market are generally divided into two kinds, one is the manual peeling of the tender lotus, the other is a fully mature old lotus, because the outer skin and the lotus flesh are tightly adhered together, manual can not be peeled off, the need for machine grinding, also known as "grinding white lotus".

The lotus core is a blue-green germ in the center of the lotus seed, which has a bitter taste.

Because the lotus core contains alkaloids, flavonoids, polysaccharides and other beneficial substances to the human body, so in order to make full use of the advantages of the lotus core, the merchant will often leave a small number of lotus cores, and this lotus core is not enough to cause the lotus soup to have a bitter taste, so it is necessary to retain, do not care about three seven twenty-one all break off and discard, if it is hard to dislike, you can reduce as appropriate.

It is precisely because the "milled white lotus" is processed by the machine to grind the skin, because the shape of the lotus seed is irregular, and there are still soft and slight convex marks when drying, and the outer skin cannot be milled clean during the processing process, leaving no trace, and inevitably there is still a small amount of skin left, which has a bitter taste in the mouth, so try to remove it clean. After soaking the lotus seeds overnight, the skin remaining on the lotus flesh has swelled and loosened, and as long as you have a hand to gently rub it, you can completely clean it up.
