Reference price: 18 yuan 760g/can
Recommendation index: In the matter of making canned fruits, you can always trust the northeastern people. Although my genuine canned yellow peaches (a local favorite brand of canned yellow peaches in Northeast China) are still on the way, this Heigou Daimao Peach canned fruit has also wowed me.
Heigou is actually a town below Dandong, where the peaches are produced in large sizes, with full flesh and a strong peach flavor. Once the peaches are ripe, almost every local family makes their own canned hairy peaches.
The composition of the canned peaches is simple: peaches, drinking water and sugar. As soon as you open the lid, the fresh peach aroma comes in front of you, and I unconsciously start to secrete saliva when I look at the large petals of pink and tender peach flesh. One bite, not a taste of snorting sweet, but refreshing and lively peach flavor, the texture of the sugar water is not too sticky, after eating, there will not be uncomfortable feeling in the mouth. And the hairy peaches are juicy enough that you can feel the overflowing peach juice before you've even bitten halfway into the flesh.
By the way, the crispness of the peaches in this can varies quite a bit, some of the thicker flesh is still crunchy and sweet, while the more ripe ones are already soft and floppy, with a more pronounced sense of fiber and a sweeter taste, which I kinda like myself.
Orinchy canned prunes
Reference price: $6 312g/can
Recommendation index:
In my mind, prunes are a great fruit for canning. Eating fresh prunes directly is likely to open a blind box of sour teeth, but canned prunes are each very "friendly", the sweetness of the sugar water is just enough to suppress the acidity of the prunes.
The packaging of this canned prunes is quite old-fashioned, very much like the canned food I ate when I was a child, and the portion of a can is not large, so it is just a small bowl full after all the canned prunes are poured out.
Remembering that the sunshine on the day of the evaluation warmed me up, I ate a prune, and the refreshing sweetness and sourness of the prune slowly swept through my mouth, and I felt like I was back in the summer vacation, sitting in front of a fan blowing a gust of cool air, and I was so happy.
Mengshui canned glucose water
Reference price: 9.6 yuan 388g/can
Recommendation index:
Mengshui is a friend in Shandong recommended to me brand, said he ate when he was a child canned fruits are its, I shopped around its online store, and finally chose to pick a canned grapes (my friend said that the canned yellow peaches are very tasty too).
The canned grapes poured out round and rolled like a small Lantern, each handled very fresh, if you look close, you can see the surface of a trace of fiber, in my eyes it is like the annual cycle of grapes.
Using a spoon to scoop up a grape and then dribble some sugar water into the mouth, the soft texture of the grapes in the mouth slowly releases the flavor, first the sugar water is just the right amount of sweetness, followed by the sweetness of the grapes began to diffuse, and, of course, there is also the spirit of the acidity has always been interspersed with it.
The only downside is that you get grape seeds from time to time. But what's the point of having such a large jar of grape pulp for less than 10 bucks, and I thought to myself that if I had bought it earlier, I might not have had anything to do with Hi-Tea's succulent grapes in the summer.
Dandong iced strawberries
Reference price: 13.3 yuan 300g/can
Recommendation index:
Bugs have reviewed Dandong's canned strawberries before, but they don't have a high opinion of it. These days I always brush up on people recommending this iced strawberries, so I couldn't resist the temptation to buy a box and come back to review it.
The way to eat this one is kinda different from other canned goods, it's meant to be frozen first, then thawed and eaten. I'm impatient, from the freezer out of the outdoor half an hour, can't wait to start taking a small fork chiseling the surface layer, the strawberries inside are still frozen very firmly, strawberry juice is similar to the state of Want Want crushed ice crushed, scooped up a spoonful into the mouth, like eating strawberry shaved ice, chewing with a creaking sound, the flavor is the ancient sweet, not overly sweet.
Waiting for another hour or so, the box is almost half melted, and most of the strawberries have become soft and fluffy. When you take a spoonful at this point, the melted strawberries are much more flavorful and sweet, and you can still chew on the strawberry seeds and strawberry-flavored crumbs from time to time, which adds some interest to the texture. But I think it's a bit on the sweet side at this point, and I prefer the flavor when it's been thawed out for a while.
Double Elephant canned fruits
Reference price: 18.8 yuan 565g/can
Recommendation index:
Dragonfruit this name sounds very fresh, I thought it was the name of a fruit I had not eaten, open the can to see the original is a pineapple grains wrapped in a red mao dan ah.
Ruby can be regarded as my childhood ate the most canned fruit, I remember the delicious canned Ruby cans bite down on the fat flesh can be soared out of the juice, I do not know how this Longfeng fruit. Come on a Longfeng fruit, the outer layer of the rambutan eat enough water, inside the pineapple sandwiched between the grain is the finishing touch, all of a sudden let the taste become three-dimensional up.
And the sweetness of the rambutan just softened the acidity of the pineapple, a delightful combination of flavors. I even ate a few dragon phoenix fruit, I thought if I was a child to eat this would not be happy to take off ~
Double Elephant brand canned mango
Reference price: 16.8 yuan 565g/can
Recommendation index:
Canned mango as soon as I opened the lid, my eyes lit up, such a large piece of mango just to look at it is very addictive. Just in the mouth is a strong mango flavor, sugar and water flavor is not too sweet and greasy, it is a canned food that knows how to share.
I myself quite like the texture of this canned mango, like eating mango puree, do not even need to move teeth, only the upper and lower lips sip mango melted in the mouth. A little to note is that this canned mango fiber is not much but still exists, after eating it is likely to teeth into the mango silk hahaha.
I look at the package, it also introduces several other ways to eat, I personally think it is not bad to use to make Yangzhi Ganluo.
Dimen canned pineapple slices
Reference price: 13 yuan 836g/can
Recommendation index:
When I used to watch the "Chongqing Forest", I was curious about the canned pineapple in it, and it was said that this is the same canned pineapple in the movie, and I took the opportunity to buy it back to try it out in the review.
Before eating, I have to remind you that there is no pull ring on this can, so if you're like me and I don't have a canning knife at home, you can only roughly use a knife to pull out a small ring. But awkwardly the pineapple slices inside are all about the same size as the cross-section of the can, and it's still a pain in the ass to remove them.
I pounded away at it for half a day, but I was able to pull out a slice. A bite down, first very warm sweet, then popped out the slightest bit of acid, the flesh of the texture is also quite crisp, you can eat the pineapple fiber. Eating I always feel that the flavor of some déjà vu, and then remembered that this is not the pineapple burger usually eaten in the burger store in the pineapple well!
Double Elephant canned pineapple honey
Reference price: 21 yuan 565g/can
Recommended index:
To be honest, buy canned pineapple honey purely out of my personal curiosity, other fruits made into canned I can still imagine most of the flavors, but the "pineapple" and "canned". But the combination of "pineapple honey" and "canned food" is like the snail food dumplings I've reviewed before, it's beyond my imagination.
When I eat fresh pineapple nectar, I find that its sweetness is already bouncing off my bottom line, but after the sugar water, the sweetness is doubled, making me cringe even before I swallow it.
I took a sharp sip of water and tried another piece, and it was still cloyingly sweet, and the texture would be a bit like eating gummy candy, very chewy, and after two pieces, I could feel my bite muscles already complaining. If you want to say something good, you can still vaguely taste the special flavor that comes with pineapple honey when you chew it.
Double Elephant Canned Mangosteen
Reference Price: $20 565g/can
Recommendation Index:
I had high expectations for the canned mangosteen because I love mangosteen, and I thought that if I canned this, it would amplify its sweetness and save me the effort of peeling it.
Open the can and see, inside the mangosteen are very full, each petal is white and fat. I hurriedly picked up a spoon and ate a piece, but the result was that my mouth only tasted like sugar water, basically no mangosteen whatsoever. If I were to eat it blindfolded, I might not even be able to guess that I was eating a can of mangosteen.
I ate another piece and was still disappointed. The sugary flavor dominated my mouth and completely overpowered the light sweetness of the mangosteen itself, a sweetness that I can't digest at my age. There's nothing memorable as far as the texture goes, and all in all, it's a pretty uninteresting can and not recommended.
In addition to the above canned fruits, the bugs also previously recommended canned Puning salty water plums and peanut soup, I think these two are also will make people feel happy little sugar water, by the way, together with the canned goods.
Xiamen Gulong Peanut Soup
Reference price: $7.9 312g/can
Recommendation index:
Peanut soup is my favorite sweet soup in Fujian, and I want to eat it every now and then, but it's a hassle to make it myself. When I saw that Gurung has canned peanut soup, then I definitely want to buy it.
The can has more than 300 grams, which can be divided into two bowls. The ingredients are sufficient, the peanuts are not floating on the surface for show, but there is a full can, I think it can take up to 70%, full of sincerity.
The peanuts look like they are well defined, but in fact they are soft and sticky, and a little bit of a sip will melt away. The oil from the peanuts has permeated the soup, giving it some sticky, fatty flavor. The sweetness I found was a little sweeter than what I had locally in Fujian, but not overly so, and I quickly finished the small half jar and added it to my daily small sweet water hoarding list. I rely on it for my after-dinner desserts~
Jieyang Chaojiazhuang Puning Salted Water Plum
Reference Price: RMB 15.9 320g/jar
Recommendation Index:
I knew about Puning because of my love for Teochew food, and most Teochew restaurants come with a jar of Puning bean paste. Later I found out that it is also the hometown of green plums in China. Every summer when green plum wine is brewed, people who know what they are doing recognize the big green plums produced in Puning.
Puning people early realization of plum freedom, they began to explore new patterns, with salt and the right amount of sugar to pickle made into crispy plums, salty water plums, plum cake, eat a lot of ways. I stocked up on a jar of Puning salted plums. The pickled salted plums are yellowish brown, soft, and have a light fragrance.
It is rather salty and sour and cannot be eaten directly, but it is a pleasant surprise to drink it in water. When summer arrives, you can also use it to make homemade salted lemon seven, a Netflix drink in tvb dramas (salted lemon seven is usually made with salted lemons, but the flavor with plums isn't really that bad).
No need to have more than one plum, one is enough, use a spoon to mash it a little so that the pulp is exposed. When you pour it in, bubbles of happiness start to rise up. Salt pickled plums, so that the sweetness of the seven joy more moist, but also an additional plum flavor, bubbling with refreshing, drinking thirst and addictive, the taste is not inferior to the teahouse!
Salted water plum taste salty and sour, not overly sweet and greasy plus concentrated sugar, steamed pork ribs and steamed fish are very good seasoning, add color at the same time but also to solve the grease. It can also be crushed and added to ground ginger and sugar, and mixed with fruit to eat is also unbeatable.
