Lotus Seeds (Phool Makhanay) are small, round, and pearly white seeds that are harvested from the lotus flower. They are widely consumed in Asia, either as a snack or a part of a soup or dessert. The seeds are highly nutritious, containing high levels of protein, carbohydrates, essential fatty acids, minerals, and vitamins. They are known to have a sweet and nutty flavor, and can be eaten raw, boiled, steamed, or fried. Lotus Seeds are believed to be beneficial to health and have been used in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries
