Can a 2-year-old baby eat lotus root powder?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it's okay to eat a little occasionally, but it should not be considered a main food. The nutritional value of lotus root starch is also high, containing 88% carbohydrates, 0.8% protein, and 0.5% fat, as well as various vitamins and minerals such as calcium, potassium, iron, and zinc. The carbohydrates in lotus root starch are primarily starch, with particularly fine granules. When boiled in water, it becomes smooth and delicious, and is easily digested and absorbed.
