The invention belongs to the technical field of food and particularly discloses instant whole lotus root powder containing highly-resistant starch and a preparation method of the instant whole lotus root powder containing the highly-resistant starch. The preparation method includes subjecting fresh lotus roots taken as a raw material to washing, peeling, slicing, color protection, pulping and cryogenic grinding so as to obtain fresh lotus root pulp; subjecting the fresh lotus root pulp to limited-enzyme hydrolysis-drum drying, crosslinking adsorption, complexing, vacuum drying, grinding, blending, extruding granulation, sieving and packaging so as to obtain the instant whole lotus root powder containing the highly-resistant starch. The instant whole lotus root powder containing highly-resistant starch and the preparation method have the advantages that since embedded crosslinking, complexing, enzymatic debranching treatment and drum drying are combined to be applied to a whole lotus root powder production process, reconstituability of the whole lotus root powder can be improved, liquidity and solubility of the whole lotus root powder can be increased, resistant starch content in the whole lotus root powder can be increased, and the whole lotus root powder can have a certain effect on intestinal microecological balance regulation and gastrointestinal function improvement; powder granules produced by extruding granulation are uniform, loose and porous and can swell and gelatinize within short time, and accordingly the whole lotus root powder is excellent in instant solubility and wettability.
