Ham moon cake. Ham moon cakes were first created in Hexianglou, Kunming, and were called "four-two-tuo" by local people. The fillings are divided into four varieties: ham, sugar, sand washing and hemp seed. Ham moon cake is made of Xuanwei ham, a specialty of Yunnan, with honey, lard and sugar as stuffing and purple wheat flour as leather. Its surface is golden yellow or brownish red, with a hard shell outside, oily and gorgeous, and a thousand layers of pastry wrapped in stuffing. This kind of moon cake not only has fragrant ham, but also has sweet and salty honey juice, which is comfortable to eat but not greasy. It is worth noting that the addition of ham makes the cholesterol content of moon cakes rise.
Fruit moon cakes. Fruit moon cake is perhaps the most unique taste among all kinds of moon cakes. It skillfully combines sweet and greasy moon cakes with fruits to meet the fashion needs of modern people in pursuit of natural green food, so it is also particularly concerned and loved. Strictly speaking, most fruit moon cakes on the market can only be regarded as "fruit-flavored" moon cakes. Because most of these moon cakes are made of wax gourd as raw material, adding special flavors of essence and pigment. Only a small number of high-grade fruit moon cakes are produced with raw pulp or juice. Such moon cakes are called "fruit-melted moon cakes". Consumers don't have to shout when they buy "fruit-flavored moon cakes", because this practice is also allowed by the state. As long as manufacturers indicate the use of wax gourd in the raw materials of moon cake packaging, it is not a commercial fraud. Compared with other moon cakes, fruit moon cakes have the advantages of low sugar and low fat, so they also have the reputation of "green moon cakes", and their various fruit flavors are popular, especially for women and children. Even so, it is still a high-calorie food and should not be eaten in excess.
