Lotus seed paste filling is a sweet and dense ingredient commonly used in Chinese and other East Asian cuisines, particularly in traditional pastries like mooncakes and bao buns. Made by cooking lotus seeds until soft and blending them into a smooth paste, its natural mild flavor is often enhanced with sugar or honey, making it rich and slightly caramel-like in taste. Lotus seeds are prized for their nutritional benefits, as they are a good source of protein, fiber, and essential minerals such as magnesium and potassium. However, the added sweeteners in most lotus seed paste recipes can contribute to high calorie and sugar content, so moderation is recommended. Its smooth texture, combined with a subtle nuttiness, makes it a widely celebrated filling in festive treats and desserts across Asia.
