Water Caltrop is a fruit that looks like the head of a bull. For the Chinese, water caltrop is normally eaten during the Lantern Festival. When the shell is cracked open, the seed inside is taken out and eaten, usually with brown sugar.
Some people would boil water caltrop and drink the water or add water caltrop to certain dishes.
Water Caltrop tastes like water chestnut and does not have much taste of its own.

ReplyDeleteHow long do you boil Water Caltrop?
ReplyDeleteI boiled them for 30 minutes; you can also steam them. Make sure they are truly cooked as they are toxic in their raw state.
