Lotus tubers are the edible, swollen stems of the lotus plant, often called lotus root. These figures describe canned lotus tubers with the whole contents of the can included, rather than the drained vegetable alone. Per 100g, they provide 96g of water, 3.1g of carbohydrate and 0.5g of protein, with only trace amounts of fat.
Carbohydrate provides energy for the body, while protein contributes to the maintenance of muscles and other tissues. The listed salt content is 0.05g per 100g, although this can vary between canned products. Including the canning liquid affects the nutrient amounts compared with drained lotus tubers. Full nutrient figures are provided in the tables below.

About these figures
Values are per 100g of the food as described (Literature sources). "Trace" means only a very small amount was found. Nutrients that were not measured are not shown. Salt is calculated from sodium.
These figures come from an older part of the dataset that is no longer updated. Original source: Wu Leung et al. (1972) Food composition table for use in East Asia, Food and Agriculture Organization and US Department of Health.
