The reason why green and red silk is added to moon cakes is to match the color of cakes. It was in the Qing Dynasty. It is said that this green and red silk was added to the dough twists in Tianjin and the tea soup in Beijing. Because sugar was scarce in ancient times, green and red silk was added to it to increase the taste. Wash the orange peel, then cut it into small strips, soak it in clear solution above limewater for 10 hours, and finally make it into green and red silk in cakes through various steps such as adding sugar, pickling and drying in the sun.
Zhong Qinghong silk is widely used in the south of China and Guangdong. For example, a large number of green and red silk will be added to the Soviet-style mung bean soup. Although it looks very beautiful in color, it tastes really bad.
