Lotus root also contains a high amount of antioxidants that help to protect the body from harmful free radicals. In addition, it has been traditionally used to treat digestive ailments, lower blood pressure, and reduce inflammation. When cooked, it has a mildly sweet flavor and a crunchy texture. It can be sliced and added to stir-fries, soups, or salads.
