It should be melted in cold water first, and then poured directly into boiling water. Lotus root starch is a kind of food with high nutritional value and sweet taste, which is deeply loved by many people. However, many people are prone to failure when brewing, and the lotus root powder produced is sparse, just like clear water, without any sticky feeling. Don't doubt that there is something wrong with the lotus root starch you bought. In fact, it is caused by the wrong production steps. Don't take brewing lotus root starch as an easy task.

First, pour the purchased lotus root starch into a clean bowl, add a small amount of cold water to completely melt it, with the ratio of about 1: 1, and stir until there is no hard object at the bottom. Then we pour boiling water into it, remember that the water must have just boiled. When we add boiling water, we should keep stirring. At this time, the texture of lotus root starch will begin to change. At first, white will become transparent colloid, and stirring will be more laborious than before. Many people fail because the water temperature is reversed.

Even so, many people will fail. Don't just dump it at this time, because there are other ways to save it. We can put the invalid lotus root starch in the microwave oven and heat it with medium-high fire for about 30 seconds, or directly heat it with open flame, so that the lotus root starch will become sticky. Before eating, you can add some favorite ingredients, such as sugar, osmanthus sauce can increase sweetness, nuts and raisins can increase taste and so on.

From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, lotus root powder has a series of effects such as clearing away heat and toxic materials, strengthening spleen and appetizing, relieving sore throat and relaxing bowels, which can be eaten by both the elderly and children. However, it should be noted that even the best things must be in moderation, because the main component of lotus root starch is starch, which is very unfriendly to obese people and easily leads to the accumulation of heat that cannot be completely digested. Therefore, people with high blood sugar and obesity must try to avoid it, and don't eat too much at once.
