Whole

Whole lotus root means intact unpeeled joints for transport, storage, and display. This form keeps flesh protected until prep. Choose firm, heavy pieces without soft spots or sour smell. Store cool; do not freeze raw whole roots if you want peak crisp texture after thawing—blanched slices freeze better. Peel and cut just before cooking.
