“About the Lotus“, co-author Paula Biles has added me to her list of people she shares current events from around the world involving the Lotus. Since the news may involve more than one story I decided to gather the happenings over the last few weeks and share them under this new headline.
If you have read the book or have followed this blog you are aware that the lotus has scientific and cultural significance well beyond its decorative use. A food for millenia and scientific goldmine only add to the interest of humans in the lotus plant.
Lotus hit and miss in recent headlines…..
- Drink up on Vietnamese tea culture
- K2 Fake-Pot Controversy Continues
- Sticky rice wrapped in lotus leaf? It has been added to the glycemic index catalog
- GE Looks At Lotus Leaves To Make Water Bounce
- Cellulite Treatments- Truth In Aging for Nelumbo (Lotus) ingredient
- DeBeers Jewelry: Enchanted Lotus Collection
Note from Zac: Around early July this summer I hope to bring you a very interactive online look at Lotus in America. That is all I am going to share for now but it will be something worth checking back to see as this is where it will be posted and shared first.
