Did you know? 🥮🥮

A lot of Mooncakes in the market actually uses a either combination paste made with both lotus seeds and mung beans or just pure mung bean paste to help lower down their cost. However, there is a distinct difference between pure white lotus paste and mung bean paste.

Here's a breakdown!:

🫘Mung Bean Paste

• Taste: A mild, sweet, and nutty flavor
• Texture: Smooth and creamy
• Price: ≈ RM12-RM18 per KG
  
• Additional Info: Mung beans are much more commonly cultivated, which allows them to have a cheaper price point. They are more widely used across different pastry ranges.

🪷White Lotus Paste

• Taste: A subtle and slightly creamy flavor
• Texture: Rich, smooth, and silky.
• Price: ≈ RM40-RM60 per KG
  
• Additional Info: Lotus seeds require longer growing seasons and have a more complex processing process. They are usually used in more high end desserts and pastries.
