What osmanthus is used for sugar osmanthus?
Generally speaking, osmanthus fragrans can be made, but I suggest you use ordinary osmanthus fragrans.
Fresh sweet-scented osmanthus just picked is not edible. Fresh osmanthus must be cooked before eating. If it is really urgent, it must be handled simply before it can be delicious.
Fresh sweet-scented osmanthus just picked contains more tannins, so it will feel bitter and lack fragrance when eaten in your mouth. Therefore, fresh osmanthus fragrans is generally cooked for a long time, and when the astringency is reduced or even completely disappeared, it is suitable for processing into various foods.
Eat fresh osmanthus fragrans, or wrap the washed fresh osmanthus fragrans with cloth, squeeze out the water in osmanthus fragrans, add appropriate amount of sugar and mix well, then put it in glass for compaction and sealing, and take it out after pickling for more than 4 days.
