The annual Mid-Autumn Festival is here again, and many people must have returned home to reunite with their families. After all, in such a festival where the atmosphere of "reunion" is everywhere, it is more lively when there are more people.

When it comes to reunion, the Mid-Autumn Festival delicacy mooncakes are naturally given this meaning, but the Mid-Autumn Festival is definitely not just about mooncakes. The Mid-Autumn Festival has been developed for more than a thousand years since the Tang Dynasty. People who love to eat

The ancients would never give out only moon cakes for the Mid-Autumn Festival.

So, in addition to mooncakes, what other Mid-Autumn Festival delicacies do you know about the ancients? 1. Pomegranate. People who like to eat pomegranates will not think that peeling pomegranates is a laborious task, but most people who don’t like to eat pomegranates do so because they feel

Peeling a pomegranate is a laborious task.

The ripening season of pomegranates is during the Mid-Autumn Festival. The ancients paid attention to following the seasons. When and when something is ripe is the best time to eat. Since the pomegranates are ripe, pick a few and peel them open to eat.

Pomegranate is one of the must-have fruits during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and pomegranates and grapes have the same meaning. Many seeds bring good luck.

2. Osmanthus Don’t get me wrong, the osmanthus mentioned here is of course not eaten raw. After all, osmanthus is a flower, not a fruit.

So, how to eat osmanthus? Some very common methods are to make wine and make cakes.

I believe many people have smelled the scent of osmanthus. Personally, I am not interested in the sweet and greasy scent of osmanthus, and I even hate it, but this does not prevent more people from loving osmanthus very much.

Osmanthus itself has a very sweet taste, which is perfect for making pastries and candies. Coupled with the sweet but unique fragrance of osmanthus, the pastries must be unusual.

There is also osmanthus wine, which also has a sweet taste. Imagine that the Mid-Autumn Festival is actually a feast of osmanthus. You can enjoy the osmanthus flowers with your family, taste the osmanthus cakes, and take a sip of sweet osmanthus wine after eating too much. It is simply

It is a supreme enjoyment for people with a sweet tooth.

Although some people will use red wine instead, as a traditional festival, many people know in their hearts whether osmanthus wine or red wine is more suitable.

3. Water chestnut It is autumn, and all the lotus flowers in the pond have fallen, but it does not hinder people's mood, because although the lotus flowers are gone, the lotus seeds are still there, and there are still lotus roots under the water.

In addition to these, there is also the three treasures of the lotus pond, water chestnut, which is as famous as lotus root and lotus seed.

However, it should be noted that water chestnuts have nothing to do with lotus, they just grow in lakes.

How to eat water chestnuts? The most common way is to steam them and peel them before eating them. In addition, they can also be eaten as porridge, which has the effects of diuresis, lactation, quenching thirst, and detoxification.

4. Crab This one is believed to be a favorite food of many people.

Autumn is a harvest season, and crabs are also in season. During the Ming Dynasty, it was very popular to eat crabs during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Of course, this was in the palace, where not only crabs were available, but also condiments were indispensable. The most common one was wine and vinegar.

After eating, there is Suye soup, which you can drink and wash your hands with.

The palace is very particular. In addition to food, there must also be an atmosphere. The Mid-Autumn Festival banquet requires performances. What is performed? Of course, it is the mythological opera related to the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The above are just a few of them. There are more than just mooncakes to eat during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and there are more than just those mentioned in the article. If you know any other delicacies, please leave a message in the comment area to share.
