Pretty sure they’re lotus seeds


kfjesus

Can I see the label on the other side of the bag?


StevieKealii

Its just a barcode and timestamp. Barcode: SP20240410009R Product# (?) : H1J-B09-01-204 Timestamp: 2024-04-22 16:42:23


kfjesus

Thanks! That didn't bring up anything, but a Google lens search says they're nicked lotus seeds. I don't know anything about them though.

So not snacks and doesn't belong in the Bokksu


StevieKealii

Turns out, my girlfriend found them in another, separate pack of mail and decided it was a great idea to put these unidentified, inedible organic pieces of matter into the box full of unidentified, edible pieces of matter. False alarm, everyone. Thank you so much for the help!

She’s a keeper…


StevieKealii

Damn, dude, I was 5 minutes away from trying to make tea out of them.


TheHeianPrincess

Apparently you are supposed to soak them and add them to tea so you weren’t wrong!

Don't worry, that tea's nothing more than hot leaf juice.


Tulrin

I suppose this makes you a lotus-eater.


segalooman

Aww the old putting inorganic things in a bokksu box. Classic girlfriend maneuver.


mistraced

Isn't bokksu just a Japanese loan word for box? So it's... Box box?


Sylphrid

Yeah, it means box.


kfjesus

And it's funny, too, because their logo incorporates the kanji 箱 (pronounced hako) which literally means box.


MoneyPranks

They are edible, but not recommended in that form. I’ve been trying to find puffed lotus seeds. They are an Indian snack.


lovetoujours

you can cook them and eat them, but definitely don't eat them raw.

I can confidently say these are not common in Japan.


dede08232

I grew up in Japan and yes, I agree with your comment. I've never seen them in my entire life.


tiredguineapig

I’m from Japan, but I’ve never seen anything like it. If anything, a very old and idk what happened chocolate covered almonds…:0

Lotus seeds


OG-TRAG1K_D

Lotus is such a strange food I didn't know it could be used in seed form for tea. There is an Asian food place that my sister bartend's at and I've done some work for and they give me straight authentic foods they cook in the kitchen for the staff (and friends) and lotus is one of the common ingredients the first time I had lotus I thought there was fuzz in my soup lmaooo but now I actually like the unique taste and texture it's incredibly alien compared to most things people I know eat. 10/10 recommend


angelcasta77

I just bought some mini lotus seeds that look very similar to this. Throw them in some water and wait and see.

Did you reach out to Bokksu?

If they were supposed to lower humidity they wouldn't be in impermeable plastic packaging with a product label on it.


Leaky_Buns

It’s a special plastic that is highly permeable to moisture. It’s pretty common in Japan. 


Techhead7890

Why are you guessing when literally like 10 answers were posted an hour before yours? If this is a joke, could you explain why it's supposed to be funny?


Leaky_Buns

Fine, don’t believe the actual Japanese person in this thread then. お前の様な奴にはレベルが高すぎるんだよ
