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.

Why Choose Our Lotus Root Powder? 

  • Purity & Texture: 99% pure starch powder (no fillers), with neutral-sweet flavor and smooth texture (vs. gritty competitors).

  • Gentle Processing: Low-temperature drying + 100-mesh ultrafine grinding retains 85% of natural starch/fiber (vs. 65% in high-heat drying).

  • Nutrient Density: Rich in iron (1.2mg/100g) and potassium (200mg/100g) for balanced mineral support.

  • Global Compliance: Halal/Kosher certified, Non-GMO, meets FDA/EFSA food additive standards.
