Description
Lotus Rootlets in Brine - 454 g
Lotus rootlets in a jar are a well-known and widespread ingredient in Asian cuisine, where they are used in a wide range of traditional dishes. The rootlets are harvested from the lotus plant and submerged in a brine to preserve their fresh, crisp texture for a longer period. In Thai cuisine, this ingredient is known as "lhai bua" and is typically included in sour curries, quick wok dishes with meat or vegetables, and in cold salads. The rootlets can also be pickled with rice vinegar, sugar, chili, and garlic to create a sour and aromatic side dish. The texture is firm and slightly crunchy, providing a pleasant mouthfeel in both hot and cold dishes. The taste is mild and neutral, making lotus rootlets a versatile ingredient that easily absorbs spices and sauces. The product is packed in a transparent jar, so the contents are visible, and the lid can be reclosed after opening. The net weight is 454 g, while the drained weight is 227 g. After opening, the jar should be tightly closed and stored in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat. Lotus rootlets are naturally fat-free and contain carbohydrates, as well as a modest amount of protein and salt. The product is aimed at food enthusiasts interested in authentic Asian cooking, including Thai-inspired dishes, and is suitable for everyday meals as well as for more festive occasions.
