Traditional wuren moon cake

Mid-Autumn Festival represents family reunion and harmony. There are many customs and habits in Mid-Autumn Festival, such as enjoying the moon and eating moon cakes. Due to the improvement of contemporary quality of life, moon cakes have become varied, and the difference between the north and the south has caused different fillings of moon cakes. Now everyone eats moon cakes and can use whatever they like. We can choose all kinds of fillings. Among them, there is one kind that many people like very much, and that is Wuren moon cake. So, which five kernels is the five kernel moon cake?

Wuren moon cake has a very long history. Since ancient times, there have been five kinds of moon cakes filled with nuts. Literally speaking, it is not so easy for five people to live in the past, and most of them are mainly two benevolence and three benevolence. Until now, there is no explicit provision for five people. However, when most merchants make five-kernel moon cakes, the "five kernels" in the five-kernel moon cakes are almonds, peach kernels, olive kernels and five kernels.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, Wuren moon cake was once voted as the best moon cake by everyone. Because no matter how it is made and processed in the middle and late stage, it is delicious only because the fillings are mixed together, so this is also the reason why Wuren moon cakes are liked by everyone. But now, the production of Wuren moon cakes is not more strict and standardized. You can increase or decrease some raw materials according to your own needs, especially the differences between North and South. The difference is also more significant. For example, some Wuren moon cakes will add some osmanthus sauce, most of which are Arabic gum chemicals, basically hawthorn strips and fruit strips, to enrich the taste of moon cakes.

When making Wuren moon cakes, wheat flour, sugar, animal oil, raw egg materials and rolled dough are used for packaging, and then the stuffing is mixed with raw materials such as rose sugar, walnut kernel, peanut kernel and hazelnut kernel. Then use the template to lightly press into various shapes of moon cakes, and then put them on a plate for baking. But now, many unscrupulous merchants have added some other materials to prevent the corrosion of moon cakes. In order to get enough shelf life, some other flavor enhancers were added. When choosing moon cakes in Mid-Autumn Festival, you must keep your eyes open and don't blindly follow the crowd.
