So what is a popped water lily seed?  It is a snack derived from the seeds of the white lily plant, a native to Eastern Asia.  Seeds are collected and then roasted over high heat.  The high heat makes them 'pop'.  Some call these a super food in that it is high in protein and minerals such as magnesium and potassium.
