Description
Lotus Seed (Nelumbo nucifera) is the dried seed of the sacred lotus, known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Lián Zǐ (莲子). Revered for centuries as a gentle, spirit-anchoring food herb, Lian Zi has been prized as a calming, spleen-supporting, and essence-preserving ingredient used in teas, congees, soups, and longevity tonics. Its nature is sweet, neutral, and slightly astringent, making it a mild yet deeply nourishing herb for steadying the heart, supporting the Spleen, and harmonizing the spirit. These white lotus seeds are sourced from Hunan and carefully peeled and core-removed without sulfur treatment.
