  Can the Wood Lotus Fruit be Eaten Fresh?

  The wood lotus fruit is very common in our daily life, and its main edible value is for medicinal purposes and cannot be eaten fresh directly.

  The Best Way to Eat Wood Lotus Fruit

  The wood lotus fruit can be processed directly and then soaked in tea for daily consumption. However, the tea must be made with boiling water and can be consumed in the same way as ordinary tea. It can improve physical fitness and treat cough, but the effect is slower.

  For patients with severe cough, it is recommended to boil the wood lotus fruit directly, about 5 qian each time.

  In addition to the above methods, the wood lotus fruit can also be used as an ingredient in soup, which has stronger dietary health benefits.

  Recommended Recipe for Wood Lotus Fruit Tofu

  1. Wrap the wood lotus fruit in gauze and squeeze it in a bowl or other container filled with cold water, pressing continuously. A sticky liquid will flow out into the cold water.

  2. After numerous squeezes, continue to repeat the operation until the squeezed liquid is no longer sticky.

  3. After squeezing, add a coagulant called "water drop condensation", or you can add a small amount of lotus root powder (preferably lotus root bought from the market, fried into juice and left in the container for a few hours, so that the lotus root powder settles down, then carefully pour off the upper clear liquid.

  It doesn't matter whether it is dry lotus root powder or wet, both can be used) and put it in the refrigerator for three to five hours, and the liquid xue li juice will turn into jelly-like finished product.

  4. Use a spoon to scoop the jelly-like wood lotus tofu into a bowl, usually adding more than half of the bowl of wood lotus tofu, and then add the desired liquid flavor.
