Basic Introduction of Maotan Crispy Candy

Maotan Crispy Candy is produced in Maotan Township near the Shibasao Wetland in the provincial nature reserve. The raw materials used are high-quality sesame and glutinous rice produced locally.

. Made from sesame powder (roasted sesame seeds), maltose (boiled glutinous rice), and a small amount of flour, osmanthus, and other seasonings, it is refined and wrapped in a small red paper into a rectangular shape. It has a sweet and fragrant taste and a soft texture. The finished product appears yellow in white, picked up into blocks, lifted into strips, and tasted sweet and crispy in the mouth. It is fragrant and does not stick to teeth or paper, suitable for all ages

I didn't pay much attention to eating Maotan crispy candy for the first time, in short, it didn't take off the soft aroma of traditional southern crispy candy. However, eating one piece still doesn't seem to satisfy my cravings. Turning around, my hand will unconsciously reach for the peeled crispy candy and then have a second piece! As soon as you take a bite, there is a strong aroma of sesame, followed by the fragrance of osmanthus, and then you taste the soft candy inside that feels like it's hard but not hard, so you have to chew it... So the fragrance of sesame and osmanthus candy rushes straight to your head between your lips and teeth, and this bite is really satisfying. When you want to savor the different aromas again, this complex and rich powder has already slid down your throat, so this mouth full of saliva begins to look forward to the arrival of the third piece of crispy candy... You must eat four pieces in a row

Crispy candy must have several characteristics: aroma, delicacy, sweetness, and crispness. The so-called "aroma" refers to the fragrance of osmanthus and sesame when opening the paper package; The so-called "fine" refers to the fact that the crumbs of crispy sugar need to be sieved through an 80 hole sieve and processed using traditional techniques, resulting in a clean and non stick texture, and a fine and refreshing taste. The so-called "sweetness" refers to the use of white sugar as the main ingredient, with moderate amounts of maltose, sweet but not greasy. The so-called "crispy" refers to the maltose that is crispy in the bones, dissolves in the mouth, is loose but not scattered, has a crispy opening, and has a smooth aftertaste
