Dried Lotus Leaves
Dried Lotus Leaf is the dried leaf of the sacred lotus (Nelumbo nucifera), used in Chinese and other Asian cuisines both as a fragrant wrapper for steamed dishes and as an herbal infusion (often sold as He Ye). It is notable as a concentrated leafy ingredient and is commonly used to impart aroma, to wrap sticky rice parcels, or brewed as a tea. Nutritionally, dried lotus leaf is rich in plant fiber, providing 40g of fiber per 100g, and also supplies plant protein, vitamin K and minerals like manganese; it contains some alpha‑linolenic acid (plant omega‑3) as well. Overall, it is a nutrient‑dense, high‑fiber botanical with modest antioxidant compounds and is typically used in small amounts to flavor and wrap foods rather than consumed in large quantities.
