Lotus root has holes running through it in a circular pattern. When sliced into rounds, each chip looks like a flower or a piece of lace. It's one of the most visually striking snacks you can make. Find it at Asian grocery stores, usually in the refrigerated produce section. The texture when crisped is similar to a potato chip but slightly starchier.
