What Is Natural Lotus Root Powder?
Our Natural Lotus Root Powder is a 99% pure starch-based concentrate from Nelumbo nucifera(Hubei Honghu orchards, China’s premier lotus-growing region), processed via low-temperature drying (≤45°C) and ultrafine grinding to preserve natural texture and nutrients. Sourced from hand-harvested mature rhizomes (peak starch/fiber stage), it is standardized for dietary fiber (6g/100g+) and mineral richness, with zero additives and freshwater lake cultivation authenticity (20-50m altitude for optimal purity). The powder is 100% water-soluble (100 mesh) and ideal for clean-label culinary, baking, and food industry applications.
