Harvested from large lotus flowers, these small, peeled, white to off-white seeds hold a significant place in Chinese medicine. Remarkably, lotus seeds can germinate even after prolonged dormancy, a phenomenon attributed to a unique enzyme that aids in repairing damaged proteins within the seeds' cells. Each part of the lotus plant possesses distinct properties, rendering it one of the most versatile herbs in Chinese medicine.
