Sesame sugar is famous for its sweetness and crispness, sweet but not greasy, and its aftertaste is endless. Sesame sugar is rich in nutrition, protein, glucose and vitamins, and has certain effects of warming stomach and tonifying kidney.
According to legend, Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin once ate sesame candy and was full of praise. Later, this kind of food became a royal tribute and was imitated everywhere. In ancient times, the most famous sesame candy was produced in Xiaogan, Hubei. This kind of food can only be cooked with the "Dragon Spit Water" in the Chenghuang Beach outside the west gate of Xiaogan Chengguan, and the top-grade sesame sugar can be cooked.
There is another legend about Xiaogan sesame candy. It is said that Xiaogan has a greedy candy store owner, who is greedy and often steals candy. Once, she ate with relish. At this time, the boss came into the room, and the proprietress was so scared that she quickly threw the bowl into the jar with sesame seeds. At this time, the boss found out.
The boss was very angry when he saw that the sugar was covered with raw sesame seeds and threw them away, but there was no way to get rid of them. At this time, the greedy proprietress said that there is still a way to use it. They are cooked in a pot and delicious.
The boss tried it according to the proprietress's method and it was really delicious. Later, an old master who cooked sugar was inspired by this incident and made Xiaogan sesame candy.
