I recently added lotus root powder to my diet, and I am so glad I did. This particular product is absolutely top-notch. Whether you're familiar with traditional Chinese wellness foods or just looking to try something new and nourishing, I highly recommend giving this a try.The powder itself is very fine, smooth, and easy to dissolve. Just a few spoonfuls with hot water and a gentle stir, and it transforms into a warm, jelly-like consistency that’s naturally sweet and incredibly comforting. You can enjoy it plain, or customize it with goji berries, honey, milk, or nuts — it’s delicious either way.I love how it soothes the stomach and feels light yet filling. It’s now my go-to breakfast or mid-afternoon snack, especially on busy days when I want something quick, warm, and easy to digest. It also helps curb sweet cravings without any guilt.From a health perspective, lotus root powder is a wonderful natural food — it's said to support digestion, nourish the lungs, and provide gentle energy. I really feel a difference in how calm and balanced my body feels after having it regularly.The packaging was clean, sealed well, and came with clear instructions (which is great if you’re new to using it). I also appreciate that it has no additives or artificial ingredients — just pure, high-quality lotus root.What surprised me the most is how versatile it is. I’ve used it in desserts, mixed it into porridge, and even added it to smoothies. It adds a silky texture and mild sweetness that blends well with both modern and traditional recipes.Overall, this is a fantastic product — nourishing, naturally tasty, and very comforting. It’s become a staple in my pantry, and I’ve already recommended it to several friends and family members.Five stars from me — this is true comfort food with health benefits!

My husband loves this stuff. The product came early. We were very pleased.

Not pure lotus root powder. The added tapioca starch really detracts from the product.To make sure it actually turns into the right consistency, add a bit of cold water to the powder first, stir and then add boiled water and mix.

It won’t dissolve in just boiling water. It’s not made from lotus root but rather other ingredient, maybe yucca root!? I had to cook it over a gas stove to make sure it’s well cooked and has a translucent consistency thickness that I want and tasted nothing like from a pure lotus root powder mixed.

This is my first time trying lotus root powder and so I don’t have anything to compare it to but I thought it was good. I was concerned about it not being finely crushed but it you just mix it with cold water and make sure it’s mostly dissolved then add the hot water, it shouldn’t be a problem. I also found that 2 tablespoons of sugar was enough.

The bag is bigger than I expected. It took me awhile to reach the thicker consistency. The directions on the bag say to use 2 spoons per cup but it was very thin and runny. I added 2 more spoons and microwaved it before it became thick. I added sweetener and a little strawberry jam. I really liked it. This is not a fine powder. Its lumpy but if you use super hot water and stir consistently, the lumps go away. I will be trying another brand to see if it’s any different since this is my first time trying.

There are 2 steps. First, add some water to stir the pieces melt into white water. Then add hot water. I saw in another reivews picture which is the case that they just add host water.
