Wild Hibiscus 2.4 lb. Lotus Root in Butterfly Pea and Elderflower Syrup

Highly prized in the culinary traditions of India and China, lotus root is a slightly sweet vegetable that features a strikingly beautiful pattern of holes. This product features 60 slices of lotus root that are carefully hand-packed into a glass jar to preserve their shape and quality. The jar is then filled with a syrup made from pressed butterfly pea flowers and elderflowers. The syrup infuses the pale lotus roots with a vibrant blue color from the hibiscus flowers, as well as a sweet, floral flavor that makes an exciting addition to a wide variety of beverages and foods! The lotus roots feature a tender bite similar to cooked potatoes. The syrup itself can also be used to add color to a wide variety of dishes. Experiment with the color-changing properties of butterfly pea flowers by adding citrus to the syrup and watching it change from blue to purple!
