About Lotus paste pastry

Lotus Paste Pastry is a traditional treat originating from Chinese cuisine, often enjoyed during festivals like the Mid-Autumn Festival. This pastry features a soft, rich filling made from lotus seeds, which are boiled, sweetened, and ground into a smooth paste. The outer layer is typically a delicate, flaky or baked dough, sometimes adorned with intricate designs. Lotus paste is naturally low in fat and a good source of protein, fiber, and essential minerals like magnesium and potassium, offering some nutritional benefits. However, the paste is often sweetened with sugar, which, combined with the buttery or oily pastry shell, can make it high in calories and saturated fats. When eaten in moderation, this dessert provides a satisfying balance of tradition, flavor, and indulgence. Variations may include added salted egg yolks or reduced-sugar options for a modern twist.
