Lian Zi (Bai), or White Lotus Seed, comes from the mature seed of Nelumbo nucifera, commonly cultivated in southern and eastern Asia. These seeds have long been incorporated into both culinary and herbal traditions, often found in congee, desserts, and tonics.
Their dense texture and mildly sweet flavour make them a popular ingredient in nourishing recipes. In traditional use, they are valued for their stabilising properties and their ability to harmonise with both sweet and savoury preparations.
