lotus leaves

Aquatic plant discs

Lotus leaves are the large, round, water-repellent leaves of the lotus plant, distinctive for their ability to shed water and remain clean.

In Asian cuisines, dried lotus leaves wrap rice, meat, or other fillings for steaming, imparting a subtle earthy flavor: sticky rice steamed in lotus leaf.

The leaves also appear in traditional medicine and tea preparations.
