The lotus plant is a beautiful sight with majestic blooms and unusual seedpods atop large leaves floating on ponds across Asia. Often depicted in paintings, the sacred plant has a symbolic significance in Hindu and Buddhist art and literature.
The entire plant is edible, but the root that grows under the water is the most commonly used in cooking and is especially important in Chinese vegetarian cuisine. You probably remember them for the striking pattern that resembles old rotary dial phones.
