Jiahuang Lotus Seeds
Lotus seeds are classified as a top-grade herb in the "Shennong Bencao Jing" (The Divine Farmer's Materia Medica), thanks to their sweet and astringent taste, neutral nature, and their benefits to the heart, spleen, and kidney meridians. They nourish the spleen and kidneys, calm the mind, and help with sleep. Additionally, they can soothe restlessness and make it easier to fall asleep.
Modern pharmacological research has found that lotus seeds are also a highly nutritious food — every 100 grams of lotus seeds contains 89 milligrams of calcium, 285 milligrams of phosphorus, and 2.1 milligrams of potassium.
