Braised Lotus Root

Braised Lotus Root

　　The braised lotus root from Wengyuan has a rich sweetness and high starch content. In the golden autumn season, when the weather is dry, according to the principle of "moisten what is dry," people should focus on nourishing yin, clearing heat, moistening dryness, quenching thirst, and calming the mind. Lotus root is one of the seasonal tonic foods. After the Start of Autumn, braised lotus root becomes a common dish on the dining tables of Wengyuan residents. What makes Wengyuan's braised lotus root special is largely related to the Weng River water and the variety of lotus roots grown in Wengyuan.
