The invention discloses a refrigeration preservation method of hulled fresh lotus seeds. The refrigeration preservation method mainly comprises the following steps: (1), preprocessing fresh picked lotus seedpods at a low temperature; (2), screening the full fresh hulled lotus seeds; (3), instantly blanching; (4), protecting color, preserving and coating; (5), internally filling an iron powder drying agent small bag, and vacuum-packaging; and (6), refrigerating at a low temperature of 2-4 DEG C to obtain the hulled fresh lotus seeds. According to the refrigeration preservation method disclosed by the invention, physiological metabolism activities such as photosynthesis, respiration and evaportranspiration of the hulled fresh lotus seeds are effectively reduced, the color browning in a storage period is decreased, the appearance quality of the fresh lotus seeds is fully remained, the nutritional quality and flavor of the lotus seeds are well kept, and the effective preservation period is capable of reaching above 3 months. The refrigeration preservation method disclosed by the invention is simple in process, strong in maneuverability, small in investment, low in energy consumption, safe, and free of pollution; and the shelf life of fresh lotus seeds is greatly prolonged, and a new approach is developed for high-valued utilization of the lotus seeds.
