What are the ancient Mid-Autumn Festival delicacies?
The annual Mid-Autumn Festival is here again, and many people must have gone home to reunite with their families.
After all, in such a festival full of "reunion" atmosphere, there are many people to be busy.
Speaking of reunion, the Mid-Autumn Festival moon cakes are naturally given such meaning, but the Mid-Autumn Festival is definitely not just a kind of eating.
The Mid-Autumn Festival has been developed for more than a thousand years since the Tang Dynasty. The ancient people who loved eating would never give it just a moon cake.
So besides mooncakes, what other ancient Mid-Autumn Festival delicacies do you know?
1. Pomegranates People who love pomegranates don’t think peeling pomegranates is a strenuous task, but most people who don’t like pomegranates also think peeling pomegranates is a strenuous task.
The ripening season of pomegranates is during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
The ancients paid attention to following the seasons. When is the best time to eat cooked food?
Now that the pomegranates are ripe, pick some and peel them.
Pomegranate is one of the indispensable fruits during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Pomegranate and grapes have the same meaning. Many seeds bring happiness.
2. Osmanthus don’t get me wrong, the osmanthus here is definitely not eaten raw.
After all, osmanthus is a flower, not a fruit.
So, how to eat osmanthus?
Some common methods are making wine and making cakes.
I believe many people have smelled the scent of osmanthus.
Xiaoyisou is not interested in the sweet scent of osmanthus, and even hates 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 cakes and candies.
Coupled with the sweet and unique fragrance of osmanthus, the cake will be extraordinary.
There is also osmanthus wine, which is also sweet.

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