Five-kernel moon cakes have a very long history. From ancient times to now, there have been moon cakes filled with five kinds of nuts. Literally speaking, it is not so easy for five people to live in the past, and most of them are dominated by two kernels and three kernels. Until now, there is no explicit provision for five people. However, when most merchants make five-kernel moon cakes, the "five kernels" in five-kernel moon cakes are almonds, peach kernels, olive kernels and five kernels.
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, Wuren Moon Cake was once selected as the best moon cake by everyone. Because no matter how it is produced and processed in the middle and late period, it is delicious just because the stuffing is mixed together, so this is why Wuren Moon Cake is liked by everyone. But now, the production of Wuren Moon Cake is not more strict and standardized. You can add or subtract some raw materials according to your own needs, especially the difference between the north and the south. The difference is also more significant. For example, some Wuren moon cakes will add some sweet-scented osmanthus sauce, most of which are Arabic gum chemicals, basically hawthorn strips and fruit strips, which are used to enrich the taste of moon cakes.
When making Wuren moon cakes, wheat flour, white sugar, animal oil, raw egg materials and rolled dough are used, and then the stuffing mixed with raw materials such as rose sugar, walnut meat, peanut kernel and hazelnut kernel is encapsulated. Then, they were lightly pressed into various shapes of moon cakes with templates, and then they were baked in plates. But now, many illegal businessmen have added some other materials to prevent the corrosion of moon cakes. In order to obtain sufficient warranty period, some other flavor enhancers are added. When choosing moon cakes for Mid-Autumn Festival, we must keep our eyes open and not blindly follow the crowd.
