Background of cake cutting:

Walnut sugar is called Maren sugar by Uighurs, and it is called cut cake or "Xinjiang cut cake" in some places.

Cake cutting has a long history. As early as the Silk Road, Xinjiang was an important transportation hub for caravans at home and abroad, and also an important grain supply station. Because businessmen travel long distances, the food they carry must be preserved for a long time, easy to carry, and rich in various nutrients, amino acids and trace elements necessary for the human body, such as vitamin C.

Otherwise, people will travel long distances and die of scurvy, just like the sailors on Da Gama and Magellan's ocean fleet. The characteristics of easy storage, easy carrying and high nutrition of cut cakes are meeting the needs of business people.
