Nezha, with spunky double buns and wind-fire wheels, has attracted over 200 million moviegoers.
Just as Nezha’s mentor Taiyi Zhenren sought premium materials to craft Nezha’s body, audiences yearning for the true "Nezha-flavor" should head to Honghu in Hubei Province for its legendary lotus root!
With 500 grams of lotus root per "Nezha", Honghu could produce 600 million Nezhas annually! Today, Honghu lotus roots can be found on dining tables across the globe.
They hold a significant and enduring place in the long-standing Chinese culinary culture, and serve as China’s flavorful “signature” to the world.
