莲子 (lián zǐ): เมล็ดบัว

Mom put some lotus seeds and red dates in the porridge, saying that eating this way is good for your health.

Every summer, after the lotus flowers in the pond fade, many lotus seeds grow.

Grandma put the dried lotus seeds in a glass jar, ready to use when making soup in winter.

This dessert has fresh lotus seeds added, and it tastes fragrant and sweet, very popular.
