Nansheng Mazao is a famous tea material dessert in Pinghe County, Fujian Province. It originated in Nansheng Town and has a history of more than 700 years. More than 700 years ago, Nansheng Town was now the seat of Nansheng County. Ma Zao has been on the tribute list for decades. Nansheng Zizyphus jujuba is made from superior glutinous rice, horny brown taro, white sugar, maltose, peanut oil and white hemp through three processes. Step 1: First, the taro is processed into powder and mixed with glutinous rice flour to make jujube embryo (jujube heart). The secret of this process lies in the ratio of horny brown taro to glutinous rice. There are too many additions and too few deletions. Only a proper proportion will make the jujube embryo rise as soon as it is fried, and the entrance will melt. Step 2, stir-fry the jujube embryo with peanuts and take it out quickly. Step 3, put the maltose into a large pot and heat it to boil, then dip the fried sesame seeds into the pot, spread the white sesame seeds on a dustpan, take out the sesame seeds mixed with syrup and roll them with white hemp until they are even, and the jujube cake is served.

The traditional technology of Nansheng Mazao combined with modern creativity has evolved a different flavor of Mazao. At present, different ingredients are peanut jujube, black sesame jujube and sesame jujube (white hemp).

The "secret recipe" has always been passed on to the daughter-in-law, not the daughter. Mainly family workshops. Every year, Spring Festival, Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival are peak sales seasons, and all workshops stay up late to produce products to meet market demand. Now red dates have become the best-selling specialty tea in southern Fujian, exported to Southeast Asia and widely praised at home and abroad.

Nansheng jujube is characterized by sticky skin and crisp heart, tender, sweet, tough and crispy, and unique flavor, which is popular among people.

A good gift for friends and relatives.
