What is Mid-Autumn Moon Cake? Do you have any delicious moon cakes?
Lotus seed cake Lotus seed moon cakes are the most common moon cakes on the market. It is a classic variety of Mid-Autumn moon cakes, with thin skin, loose skin, smooth and sweet stuffing and deep sweetness. According to legend, during the Yuan Dynasty, lotus seed cakes were used as a tool to deliver secret letters. Zhu Yuanzhang successfully revolted and established the Ming Dynasty because he put the secret letters in moon cakes without being discovered by the Mongols. According to the raw materials of stuffing, lotus seed month can be divided into pure lotus seed month and ordinary lotus seed month. Pure lotus seed stuffing is made of lotus seeds except sugar and oil, while ordinary lotus seed stuffing can be added with other starches such as beans. In addition to pure lotus seed cake, manufacturers usually add one or several egg yolks, which are called egg yolk lotus seed cake. Egg yolk lotus seed paste moon cake tastes better and richer, which reduces the sweet and greasy feeling brought by a single lotus seed paste filling to some extent. From the stuffing of lotus seed cake, we can easily find that the classic lotus seed cake is not a healthy food from the nutritional point of view. Rich in sugar and calories, the addition of egg yolk greatly improves the animal fat and cholesterol content of moon cakes. Old people, diabetics and friends with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as "three highs" should pay attention to "taste" when enjoying delicious lotus seed cakes, and don't be greedy to increase the burden on the body.

Chestnut moon cake Chestnut and lotus seed cake have many similarities, but the difference is that chestnut is the main raw material for filling, and its taste is also different from lotus seed cake.

Mooncakes made of chestnut can be described as Xian Yi suitable for all ages. This kind of moon cake is a good choice for the public because of its simple materials, affordable price and sweet taste.

Wuren moon cake Wuren moon cake is also a classic variety. The so-called five kernels are not only five kinds, but are made of many different raw materials, generally including walnut kernels, peanut kernels, pine kernels, sesame kernels and so on. It means "complete harmony". Wuren moon cake is slightly less delicate because of the addition of many nuts. It tastes crisp and refreshing, with a faint fragrance and a unique flavor, which makes people never tire of eating. In the moon cake market with endless new flavors and novel designs, Wuren moon cake is still an "evergreen tree" and is loved by many friends.

Ham moon cake. Ham moon cakes were first created in Hexianglou, Kunming, and were called "Si Liang Tuo" by local people. The stuffing is divided into four varieties: ham, sugar, sand washing and hemp seed. Ham moon cakes are made of Xuanwei ham, a specialty of Yunnan, with honey, lard and sugar as stuffing and purple wheat flour as skin. Its surface is golden yellow or brownish red, with a hard shell outside, oily and gorgeous, and a thousand layers of pastry wrapped in stuffing. This kind of moon cake not only has fragrant ham, but also has sweet and salty honey juice, which is comfortable to eat but not greasy. It is worth noting that the addition of ham makes the cholesterol content of moon cakes rise.

Fruit moon cakes. Fruit moon cakes may have the most unique taste among all kinds of moon cakes. It skillfully combines sweet and greasy moon cakes with fruits to meet the fashion needs of modern people in pursuit of natural green food, so it is also particularly concerned and loved. Strictly speaking, most fruit moon cakes on the market can only be regarded as "fruity" moon cakes. Because most of these moon cakes are made of wax gourd with special flavors of essence and pigment. Only a few high-grade fruit moon cakes are made of puree or juice. This kind of moon cake is called "fruit-melted moon cake". Consumers don't have to make a hullabaloo about when buying "fruity moon cakes", because this practice is also allowed by the state. As long as manufacturers indicate the use of wax gourd in the raw materials of moon cake packaging, it does not belong to commercial fraud. Compared with other moon cakes, fruit moon cakes have the advantages of low sugar and low fat, so they are also known as "green moon cakes". Their various fruit flavors are popular, especially among women and children. Even so, it is still a high-calorie food and should not be eaten in excess.

As a new kind of moon cake, the ice-skin moon cake can be said to be the most attractive of all moon cakes. Ice-skinned moon cakes break the pattern of traditional moon cakes. They look small and lovely, and their shells are crystal clear. Even if you don't eat it, you can't put it down. The method of making frosted moon cakes is different from the traditional Guangdong moon cakes. Traditional Guangdong moon cakes need to be baked at a high temperature above 200℃ for 20-25 minutes, while frosted moon cakes are made of special frosted flour, cold boiled water, mixed into dough, stuffed with stuffing and put into molds. Its dough is made of flour and sticky rice flour, and its oil content is slightly lower than that of traditional dough, but after the whole milk is added, there is still some fat in the dough. Although the crust of ice-covered moon cakes is healthier than that of Cantonese-style and Soviet-style moon cakes, if we still use bean paste and milk yellow as fillings, we will inevitably repeat the old practice of high oil and sugar. Ice-skinned moon cakes are suitable for young people who pursue fashion trends. If you want to taste something fresh, you might as well have a try! In addition, the moon cakes with frosted skin should be kept at low temperature, and they taste best when taken out of the refrigerator for more than ten minutes. If it is left at room temperature for more than two hours, it should be discarded, otherwise people with weak gastrointestinal function will easily get gastrointestinal diseases.

Ultrafine green tea powder is a new product that has only appeared in recent years. It uses fresh tea leaves as raw materials, and is instantly crushed into pure natural tea steam ultrafine powder with a mesh of more than 250 by high-temperature steam deactivation and special technology, which retains the original natural green, nutritional and pharmacological components of tea to the maximum extent and does not contain any chemical additives. Green tea moon cakes are crisp and soft, with fresh tea fragrance, giving people a unique artistic conception of enjoying the moon with tea fragrance, which is suitable for both young people who pursue fashion and middle-aged and elderly people who pay attention to health.

High-grade health moon cakes. This kind of moon cake has many flavors, such as abalone, shark's fin, ginseng, bird's nest and so on. And most of them use precious nourishing raw materials, so they have a certain health care effect. However, this kind of moon cake is usually luxurious in packaging and expensive, and the actual purchase value is not great, so it is suitable for consumers with economic strength to buy.

Chocolate (ice cream) moon cakes. This kind of moon cake combines Chinese moon cakes and western desserts, and its shape is elegant and chic, or vivid and lovely, which is quite popular among young women. The rich chocolate fragrance makes people feel romantic. But this kind of moon cake also has the same health problems. Although the shell of chocolate moon cake is thin, it still contains a lot of sugar. The filling of ice cream moon cakes is full-fat milk, which contains a lot of animal fat and cholesterol. Eating too much of this kind of moon cake is a heavy burden on the body, so consumers should pay attention.
