Traditionally, american Indians have used water lilies for various culinary and meditional purposes. The flour from the dried roots are used to make pancakes. I am so dead curious how it must taste. I love pancakes and play around with lots of fruits, cheese stuffings. But lilly root flour is somethin that I find extremely exotic. Have you tasted it? How does it taste? I know it must have lots of nutritional value, apart from the nutritional value I wonder about the flavour.
I can sit and stare at the lily flowers for hours together. Would it taste as beautiful as the lily flower itself?
If you ever saw a water lily, you would agree with me. If you managed to hold one in your hand, oh! its aroma is so lite so sweet.

I never thought that water lily could be eaten. I have never eaten any dish made out from this plant perhaps it tastes good.In my country,water lilies are used to make bags,purse and handicrafts.

Wow! I never thought that water lilies can be turned into various culinary and medicinal purposes and now pancakes. I wonder then how they do that and what could be its taste. I like pancakes too however it was made of flour. This is some kind of exotic. Thanks for the information. :-)
