Lotus Seed Paste
Lotus Seed Paste is a sweet, smooth filling widely used in Chinese pastries such as mooncakes and baos, made by cooking and sweetening lotus (seed) paste until silky. It’s an energy-dense confection at 420kcal per 100g, typically high in carbohydrates and added sugar while providing modest plant protein. Nutritionally it supplies some unsaturated fats and vitamin E along with small amounts of minerals, but is low in fiber; as a result it’s best enjoyed in small portions or swapped for less-sugary fillings when you want a lighter option.
