Abstract
Sacred lotus, or Nelumbo nucifera, is a popular therapeutic herb. Since ancient times, lotuses have been utilized as food and medicine in India, Egypt, the Middle East, and China. The lotus has edible blooms, seeds, leaves, fruit, and rhizomes. In Asia, the rhizome is frequently used as a component in soups and stir-fries, while the flower's petals are used to wrap food.
