Walking into some big supermarkets, you will find that the competition for moon cakes has become fierce. Looking around, the mountain of mooncake gift boxes is dizzying, and it seems that there is a feeling of "a hundred flowers blossom and compete for beauty".
China has a vast territory and abundant natural resources. There are dozens or even hundreds of moon cakes alone. Among all kinds of moon cakes, there are always some moon cakes that are sought after by many consumers because of their unique taste, so they can stand firm in the market competition for many years.
Today, Bian Xiao will count five kinds of common moon cakes with you. I wonder which one you like best. 1 is a classic, but many people don't like it.
Next, let's take a look at these five common moon cakes.
No. 1: wuren moon cake
Wuren moon cake is quite classic and has a long history. It can be said that it is the "originator" of the moon cake industry, and now many kinds of moon cakes have evolved from it.
The so-called Wuren moon cake refers to the moon cake made of five kinds of "nuts": walnut kernel, almond, olive kernel, melon seed kernel and sesame seed kernel. In other words, these five kinds of "nuts" must be in the stuffing of moon cakes before they can be called "five kernels" moon cakes.
For many elderly people, Wuren moon cakes are full of too many memories, which make them unforgettable. Therefore, they prefer to eat Wuren moon cakes, thinking that they taste full of fragrance, and the more they chew, the more memorable they are.
However, although Wuren moon cakes are classic, many young people don't like them now. They will think it tastes strange, a little hard and has a lot of fillings, so it tastes like dregs, just like dark dishes.
The second kind: moon cakes with bean paste.
Bean paste moon cake, also a traditional moon cake, was once all the rage.
For many people who like sweets, especially children, they may prefer to eat moon cakes with bean paste because it tastes sweet and delicate. In many moon cake factories, the product of bean paste moon cake is still kept, and the sales volume is relatively objective.
The fillings of red bean paste moon cakes are often only red bean paste and sugar. However, in recent years, many manufacturers have made innovations and added other fillings to diversify their tastes.
