Shallow-water lotus root

Shallow-water lotus root

　　The "Heyuan Brand" shallow-water lotus root has been cultivated in Yuanpaifang Township, Lianshui County since the 1980s. Starting from 1997, the planting area expanded continuously, reaching 2,667 hectares by 2004. It is mainly distributed across townships such as Liancheng, Yixing, Huaidun, Xiaoliji, Zhuma, Qianji, and Hongyao.

The shallow-water lotus root produced in Lianshui County features thick, white roots with a crisp and tender texture. In recent years, areas such as Liancheng Town have developed biogas systems, using biogas slurry and residue as the main fertilizers for cultivating shallow-water lotus root. The resulting produce has been tested and certified to meet the quality standards of pollution-free agricultural products, earning it the Pollution-Free Agricultural Product certification mark.
