Lotus Seed Nutrition & Functional Benefits

Why Chuzhou White Lotus Stands Out
Lotus seeds have long been valued in Asian diets, but not all lotus seeds are equal.

Why Chuzhou White Lotus?

Chuzhou White Lotus is known for:
•Plump kernels and jade-white color
•Delicate aroma and soft texture after cooking
•High levels of protein, flavonoids, and polysaccharides
These qualities make it ideal for producing enzymatically hydrolyzed lotus seed powder with superior sensory performance.
For processing advantages, refer back to Enzymatically Hydrolyzed Lotus Seed Powder.

Key Functional Components

•Proteins & peptides: support satiety and nutrition
•Flavonoids: antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity
•Polysaccharides: immune modulation
•Alkaloids: calming and sleep-supporting effects
This explains why lotus seed ingredients are increasingly used in functional beverages and wellness products.
