Gannan Hakka food culture has a long history. During the Tang and Song Dynasties, with the formation of Hakka clan, its embryonic form began to appear, and it developed in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It has a relatively mature system in terms of materials, cooking methods and flavor characteristics, and has a certain reputation both inside and outside the province with the characteristics of "spicy and mellow flavor, light and crisp, rich flavor of raw materials, exquisite cooking techniques and far-reaching humanistic flavor".

Hakka people in southern Jiangxi have eggs brewed with wine and tea. Banquet and eating "four plates and eight bowls" on holidays, that is, using four large plates and eight large bowls to hold dishes, twelve big dishes, local snacks and special foods, etc., are numerous. In order to further spread the food culture of Gancai, Ganzhou actively explores the fine dishes of Gancai, advocates the concept of healthy eating, and constantly caters to the needs of the catering market. Xingguo County has continuously explored the connotation of red culture and formed a Hakka food culture brand represented by "Four Stars Looking at the Moon". Ruijin excavates and sorts out the dining culture of Hongdu, such as "Hongdu Banquet" and "Red Army Duck", and combines Hakka culture with red culture well. Anyuan county has gradually formed a food culture pattern of "food city", "barbecue street" and "characteristic street" through correct guidance, and introduced a number of leading enterprises in deep processing of agricultural products such as Jiangxi Tianhua Modern Agriculture Co., Ltd. to ensure the demand and quality of raw materials. By April, 2113, there were 12 Hakka dietetic skills listed in provincial "non-legacy" projects, and 3 people were listed as representative inheritors of provincial "non-legacy" projects. There are 2 "China Time-honored Brands" catering brands, 2 famous banquets in China, 21 famous dishes in China and 7 famous snacks in China.
