The flowers are capable of producing ink used by artists such as Morrison Polkinghorne to produce abstract images of the landscapes of southern Asia. [41]a b Gallego, S. M.; M. P. Benavides; M. L.

You cannot consume raw lotus roots as they increase the chance of bacterial infections; you need to either boil or steam them. Peel off its skin and rinse it thoroughly before boiling for 10 minutes. However, if you want to soften its texture, boil the roots for not more than 20 minutes. Here are a few recipes to try. 1. Lotus Root Stir-Fry Some of the antioxidant compounds in lotus include kaempferol, catechin, chlorogenic acid, and quercetin.

Place approximately 1 teaspoon of the filling in the center of one lotus root slice, and then cover it with another slice.Nelumbo nucifera contains some thermal-stable proteins that might be useful in protein bioengineering processes. The proteins are characterized by seed longevity used for cell protection and repair under stress. [65] There are also several indications that compounds of N. nucifera are used in drug fabrication in human health research for multiple purposes. [66] Lotus leaves possess hydrophobic characteristics, attributed to a waxy coat that prevents water from adhering to the surface. This attribute has influenced the conception of the "lotus effect" in biomimicry and engineering, guiding the design of materials that resist water and remain self-cleaning. Researchers at the National University of Singapore have utilized the water-repelling structure as inspiration for developing eAir, an aero-elastic sensor capable of detecting subtle pressure changes or other environmental stimuli.
