Using this value
Either form of this value goes in the google_product_category attribute: the numeric ID (6644) or the full path ("Food, Beverages & Tobacco > Food Items > Fruits & Vegetables > Fresh & Frozen Vegetables > Lotus Roots"). Both are predefined values for the same category. The ID is the sturdier of the two, because renaming any segment above this one changes the path text and leaves the number alone.
Bear in mind that google_product_category is an optional attribute. Google assigns a category automatically, and your value is treated as a signal rather than an override. When an override actually applies.
In your feed, it looks like this
Either row below is accepted. The first is the one to send.
| id | title | google_product_category |
|---|---|---|
| SKU-1001 | Your product title | 6644 |
| SKU-1001 | Your product title | "Food, Beverages & Tobacco > Food Items > Fruits & Vegetables > Fresh & Frozen Vegetables > Lotus Roots" |
This path contains a comma, so the cell has to be quoted: unquoted, a CSV reader splits "Food, Beverages & Tobacco > Food Items > Fruits & Vegetables > Fresh & Frozen Vegetables > Lotus Roots" into 2 columns and the row stops lining up with its header. The numeric ID, 6644, contains no comma.
Questions about Lotus Roots
What is the Google product category ID for Lotus Roots?
6644. The full path, "Food, Beverages & Tobacco > Food Items > Fruits & Vegetables > Fresh & Frozen Vegetables > Lotus Roots", is the same category written the other way. The ID is shorter, and renaming a segment above this one changes the path text while leaving the number alone.
Is anything more specific than Lotus Roots available?
No. Lotus Roots is a leaf of Google's taxonomy at level 5, so 6644 is the most precise value this branch offers. If it does not describe your product closely enough, the answer is a different branch, not a deeper one.
Where does Lotus Roots sit in the taxonomy?
At level 5, under Fresh & Frozen Vegetables (5793). The chain from the top is Food, Beverages & Tobacco → Food Items → Fruits & Vegetables → Fresh & Frozen Vegetables → Lotus Roots. If your product does not belong under Fresh & Frozen Vegetables, it does not belong here either — check the level above before going deeper.
What should I use if Lotus Roots is not quite right?
Look across the rest of Fresh & Frozen Vegetables first — there are 57 other categories at this level: Arracachas (6716), Artichokes (6570), Asparagus (6568), Beans (6577), Beets (6580), Borage (6587), and 51 more. If none of them fits either, the problem is higher up: go back to Fresh & Frozen Vegetables (5793) and pick a different branch from there rather than settling for the closest thing on this one.
How big is Lotus Roots compared with the categories next to it?
It is 31th largest of the 58 at its level, carrying 0 categories below it. A bigger category is not a better one — it just means more of the taxonomy is still open below you after you pick it.
