Srinagar, Sep. 29 : These days the Kashmir valley is witnessing a high demand for Nadru, the lotus stem, as during the holy month of Ramadan most of the devout Muslims, who remain on dawn to dusk fasts, relish it a lot.
Kashmiri Nadru (lotus stem), which are found beneath the water of Dal Lake and the Walur Lake, attract huge demand during this ongoing holy month.
Bland in taste with a texture somewhere between that of a potato and Sinagara(water chestnut), Nadru is rich in dietary fiber and vitamin C, among other nutrients, as well as low in fat.
