So this time we can talk about egg yolk mooncakes.

Do you know what kind of yolk is in an egg yolk mooncake and how it's made?

I can't wait to share it with you.

Egg yolk is a traditional mooncake filling, and there is no more classic pairing than lotus seed paste yolk, bean paste yolk and cloudy leg yolk. It can also be divided into single and double yolks.

I don't know if you've ever wondered what kind of yolks are in them.

In fact, the egg yolk in the mooncake is the salted duck egg yolk.

After the fresh duck eggs have been cured for a certain period of time, the salinity is moderate and the yolk becomes oily and sandy, so you can take the yolk. The yolk is separated from the white and the white is bought by the manufacturers who need it, leaving the yolk.

The salted egg yolks are sold in frozen or fresh form, and are used to process mooncakes or make other products.

So how does the yolk get into the mooncake?

Egg yolks can be sprayed with some wine in advance to remove the fishy odor.

Shape the filling into a cake, put a whole salted egg yolk in the center of the cake, and then wrap the yolk around the cake and knead it into a small ball.

In the filling kneaded into a small round ball outside, and then wrapped in moon cake crust, pressed into the moon cake mold, after the oven Bake, back to the oil, egg yolk moon cake is ready.

Is the egg yolk in the mooncake real?

Most of the egg yolks in egg yolk mooncakes are real egg yolks, because the real salted egg yolks are oily and salty, rich in layers, and have a unique taste.

The egg white in the salted egg is also used for other purposes, so there is no waste and the cost is controlled. The price of mooncakes is not low enough to justify imitating egg yolks, and the vast majority of egg yolk mooncakes are made with real egg yolks.

There are also mooncakes made with egg yolks because some people think the yolks may contain germs or don't like their distinctive fishy flavor. Manufacturers break the yolks into sand and then pasteurize them further or add other ingredients to make the filling.

After the yolk filling is made, the mooncake is then made into a better shaped mooncake, not having to be limited by its shape and size.

Although the yolks are real egg yolks, but to ensure the quality, you have to choose well when you buy.

A good yolk mooncake after cutting, the yolk is complete, and the interface in contact with the filling is clear. The color of the yolk is uniform, golden yellow and has a very obvious luster. The bad yolk moon cake yolk white, no luster.

The egg yolk has less fat leaching, and the taste is like bean paste in the mouth, which can be used as a criterion. The egg yolk should also have its own unique aroma and a light fishy flavor.

Consumers are encouraged to buy mooncakes through formal channels and to read labels and quality certificates carefully.

When buying, pay attention to check whether the packaging is complete, whether the container is clean, packaging labeling of the product production date, shelf life, storage conditions, ingredient list, "QS" logo, the name of the manufacturer, factory address, contact information and other content.

The filling and crust of the moon cake are high in oil and sugar, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, obese patients must eat less, but also pay attention to the time of consumption.

Because mooncakes contain a lot of fat and sugar, not easy to digest, excessive consumption will lead to bloating, indigestion, and severe diarrhea.

? Although egg yolks are rich in lecithin, unsaturated fatty acids, amino acids and other important nutrients for human life. But the cholesterol in the yolk will affect the health of the arteries, and should not be eaten more.

The salted egg yolks are also high in salt. It will affect the estrogen balance of pregnant women during pregnancy, so it is best for pregnant women not to eat.

Because the moon cake oil and sweet, you can have a cup of tea, both sweet and greasy. With the moon cake this small tea, you can enjoy the leisure time.

Only once a year the mooncake festival, to seize the opportunity. Your health should not be neglected either.

Like will be unrestrained, but love will be restrained. Although the moon cake is good, do not eat it greedily oh ~
