Recommended Paradise Brand-West Lake Lotus Root Noodles. Tiantang brand is (Hangzhou famous brand, famous real estate product in Zhejiang Province, Hangzhou Tiantang Food Co., Ltd.). My family has been buying this brand of lotus root powder to brew and drink. Let me briefly explain how to choose high-quality lotus root powder:
Lotus root starch is made from fresh lotus root as raw material. The color of fresh lotus root after peeling is not pure white, but has a slight red color. Therefore, the color of authentic lotus root starch is not snow white. If you look carefully, you can see that it is not pure white. You can see the faint red color.
If it is a purely natural product, then the lotus root powder should have a more natural and light fragrance, which is exactly the same as the original fragrance of fresh lotus root. It is marked that it contains other auxiliary ingredients such as red dates or osmanthus. If you can smell a clear fragrance, or there is no smell, it is probably fake.
After buying the lotus root starch, you can use your fingers to dip it in it. Take a little and put it in your mouth to taste. The lotus root itself can be eaten raw, so it doesn’t matter if you eat a little raw lotus root powder. The real lotus root powder melts in your mouth and will not feel sticky when you buy it. Pay attention to the manufacturer's logo, such as ingredient list, production date, etc., and also pay attention to whether the price is reasonable. If it is very cheap or incredibly cheap, then be careful if it is counterfeit from other starches.
