Made from whole dried lotus seeds, it is slow‑cooked, gently caramelized, and finished with just enough sugar and non‑GMO canola oil to create a rich, nutty depth and glossy sheen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" data-end=\"734\" data-start=\"405\"\u003eThis traditional yellow\/red lotus paste 黃\/紅蓮蓉 gets its warm colour and deeper flavour from the light caramelization process, making it the classic choice for Cantonese mooncakes. Long considered a luxury filling in Chinese pastry due to the labour‑intensive preparation of lotus seeds, it also contributes plant protein and trace minerals like manganese and magnesium. Whether for Mid‑Autumn mooncakes, steamed buns, or modern fusion desserts, this is a filling that brings together heritage and Canadian craftsmanship in every bite.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"\" data-end=\"1021\" data-start=\"1000\"\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"822\" data-start=\"692\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-end=\"714\" data-start=\"692\"\u003eBalanced sweetness\u003c\/strong\u003e – your desserts taste elegant, not overly sugary\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"929\" data-start=\"825\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-end=\"841\" data-start=\"825\"\u003eReady to use\u003c\/strong\u003e – no soaking, simmering, or wok‑frying needed; pipe or portion straight from the tub\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"1030\" data-start=\"932\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-end=\"960\" data-start=\"932\"\u003eSmooth yet shape‑holding\u003c\/strong\u003e – ideal consistency for intricate mooncake moulds and bun fillings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"1136\" data-start=\"1033\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-end=\"1063\" data-start=\"1033\"\u003eLocally produced in Canada\u003c\/strong\u003e for fresher stock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"1234\" data-start=\"1139\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-end=\"1174\" data-start=\"1139\"\u003ePlant‑based \u0026amp; preservative‑free\u003c\/strong\u003e – suitable for vegan and clean‑label baking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-end=\"198\" data-start=\"163\"\u003eClassic \u0026amp; Creative Applications:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-end=\"1068\" data-start=\"200\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"420\" data-start=\"200\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"420\" data-start=\"202\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"227\" data-start=\"202\"\u003eTraditional mooncakes 蓮蓉月餅\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"230\" data-start=\"227\"\u003eUse approximately 60-70% of the total weight as filling (e.g. 70 g filling to 30 g dough for a 100 g mooncake).
