Sobre este ingrediente
Cultivated lotus rhizome, used as a vegetable in Japanese cuisine for 1,000+ years. Ibaraki Prefecture produces ~50% of Japan's commercial volume; Tokushima, Saga, and Yamaguchi round out supply. Characteristic crunchy, slightly fibrous texture with hollow channels in the rhizome. Functional positioning targets dietary-fibre and tannin content; cosmetic-grade extract is increasingly used in skin-soothing formulations. Distinct from existing vegetable entries.
