About Mooncake with lotus paste and salted egg yolk

Mooncake with lotus paste and salted egg yolk is a traditional Chinese pastry, commonly enjoyed during the Mid-Autumn Festival. This indulgent treat features a soft, golden baked crust encasing sweet and fragrant lotus seed paste. A salted egg yolk, often positioned at the center, adds a rich, savory contrast to the sweetness, symbolizing the moon. While mooncakes are culturally cherished, they are calorie-dense due to high sugar, fat content, and the inclusion of salted egg yolks, which contribute cholesterol. On the healthier side, lotus seeds provide antioxidants and essential nutrients like magnesium and potassium. Moderation is key when enjoying this festive delicacy, as its small size belies its significant caloric and fat load.
