Which are the five kinds of five kernel (the main ingredients of five kernel moon cake)

Nearing the Mid-Autumn Festival, mooncakes ushered in the peak selling season. This year is also the first Mid-Autumn Festival after the implementation of the "new national standard for mooncakes". As the standard stipulates the main filling varieties that should be contained in the previously controversial five-kernel mooncakes on the Internet, one of them, "olive kernel," is really rare, so that the five-kernel mooncake, which was already a "net red," has become the focus again. Responsible for answering the "new standard" of the National Bakery Standardization Technical Committee of the Pastry Sub-Technical Committee of the consulting phone were "burst".

The new standard, the focus is mainly on the olive kernel. Olive kernel distribution in Guangdong, Guangxi area, the production is very low, previously only some enterprises in Guangdong use. Procurement of olive kernel wholesale price is 210 yuan / catty, if all the use of olive kernel, moon cake selling price naturally to rise sharply.

Visit: five kernel moon cake content "a variety of"

Five kernel moon cake has been disliked in the past few years, on the one hand, let the "five kernel moon cake out of the world of moon cake", on the other hand is the major supermarkets on the moon cake counters, a lot of brands have five kernel moon cake! The other side of the mooncake counter in major supermarkets, many brands have five-kernel mooncakes.

What kinds of ingredients are in five-kernel moon cakes? AQSIQ and China's National Standardization Administration issued a "new national standard for mooncakes" clearly states that five kernel mooncake refers to the use of walnuts, almonds, olive kernels, melon seeds, sesame seeds and other five main raw materials processed into the filling of the mooncake.

However, the reporter visited the market and found that this year contains five kernel moon cake gift box significantly reduced, but also a lot more "nicknames", there are Beijing-style five kernel, refined five kernel, Wu Ren moon cake, barbecued pork Wu Ren, Su-style five kernel, and so on.

The ingredients of each manufacturer's mooncake are even more varied. For example, the Beijing-style five-kernel mooncake in the Beijing Taoxiangcun Reunion Moon Gift Box includes sunflower kernels, watermelon kernels, peanut kernels, sesame kernels and walnut kernels; and the bulk five-kernel mooncake contains white melon kernels, sesame kernels, walnut kernels, almonds and pine nuts.

The five kernels in Luckie's Wu Ren mooncake include peanut kernel, sesame kernel, melon seed kernel, cashew kernel and lentil kernel. And the five-kernel mooncake in the Suzhou-style mooncake made in Shanghai has six kinds of nuts, watermelon seed kernel, sunflower seed kernel, peanut kernel, walnut kernel, almond kernel and olive kernel.

Manufacturers: olive kernel production is insufficient and expensive

Five kernel moon cake on the market to reduce and name a variety of, and "moon cake new national standard" implementation in the end there is no relationship?

Sun Peng, deputy general manager of Beijing Taoxiangcun, introduced the new standard, the requirements of the five kernel "focus" is mainly concentrated in the "olive kernel". Olive kernel distribution in Guangdong, Guangxi area, production is very low, previously only part of the Guangdong enterprises to use. If the temporary demand for goods, and enterprises to cooperate with the raw material enterprises are unable to raise a moment, and the current production of olive kernel is obviously difficult to meet the national demand.

Sun Peng said, Beijing Taoxiangcun production of Cantonese-style five-nut moon cake, the ingredients have remained unchanged for decades, is the white melon seed kernel, sesame seed kernel, walnut kernel, almonds and pine nuts. In addition, the price of olive kernel is dozens of times that of peanut kernel. According to Quanjude imitation food company Lin Li manager, Quanjude mooncake gift box of five kernel mooncake, filling in addition to the five fillings specified in the national standard, and lentil kernels.

And the wholesale price of olive kernel they purchase is 210 yuan per catty. If all the use of olive kernel, the moon cake's selling price is naturally to rise sharply. Reporters also found in the visit to the supermarket, the "content" of the moon cake, the price also appeared to be a clear gap, containing olive kernel moon cake price is significantly higher than the other five kernel moon cake, the most expensive piece of more than ten yuan, the cheapest catty is less than 20 yuan, the price of the highest difference of four times.

So in this case, some mooncake producers said they can only reduce the production of five-kernel mooncakes, or give five-kernel mooncakes a new name.

Official: five kernel moon cake kernel is not limited to the type of

According to Sun Peng, "moon cake new national standard" came out, moon cake manufacturers think must be in accordance with the "new national standard" of the ingredients specified in the production of five kernel moon cake, but in view of olive kernels, the production is limited, many manufacturers have to give the national production of five kernel moon cake. Production is limited, many manufacturers have to the National Technical Committee for Standardization of Bakery Products Pastry Sub-Technical Committee to call and write.

On the official website of the National Standards Committee, specifically on the "national standard GB/T19855-2015" moon cake "inquiries" lists the National Bakery Products Standardization Technical Committee Pastry Sub-Technical Committee Secretariat phone. Yesterday, the Beijing Morning Post reporter called this phone to identify themselves, a staff member immediately said: "You ask the five kernel moon cake, right? The phone is going to blow up."

The reporter learned that after the implementation of the new regulations, the "new national standard for moon cakes" from the mandatory standards into a recommended standard. And because of inquiries about the ingredients of the moon cake is too much, the National Bakery Products Standardization Technical Committee Pastry Sub-Technical Committee specifically on the "new standard" in the nuts of the moon cake provisions issued a "letter of reply".

The "reply letter" said that the Cantonese moon cake nuts in the use of five nuts as the main raw materials processed into the filling of the moon cake can be referred to as "Cantonese five-nut moon cake"; and the provisions of the "which use walnut kernels, almonds, olive kernels, melon seeds, sesame seeds, and other five main ingredients "The five kinds of nuts listed in the article are based on the basic description of "Cantonese-style mooncake with five nuts", but the word "etc." refers to the fact that the use of the above five kinds of nuts is not limited to the ingredients of Cantonese-style mooncake with five nuts.

However, this "reply letter" in the release of the time is August 11, 2016, this time period, many companies produced mid-autumn moon cakes have begun to supermarket shelves.

What are the nuts to summon the "five nuts moon cake"?

The new national standard for mooncakes has apparently been misinterpreted by public opinion:

For one thing, the standard itself is non-mandatory. Like Shanxi knife-cut noodles, Lanzhou beef noodles, local standards, counting the guiding industry **** knowledge, not that mandatory overbearing provisions. For example, the market in the sale of moon cakes, part of the packaging has been reprinted "GB/T19855" product standard number, there are moon cakes on the packaging is still the old version of the "GB19855" standard. China Bakery and Sugar Products Industry Association in the "2016 National Mooncake Industry Development Trends" report explains that the new standard is a recommendatory standard, non-compulsory, such as the implementation of the standard of the enterprise, you need to carefully study the changes in the standard, and do a good job in the implementation of the standard of the relevant work. In other words, labeled with the new standard should be complied with, if the implementation of the old standard is not too much.

Secondly, there is a "wait" word in the standard for five-nut mooncakes. In fact, the merchants vainly renamed the moon cake into "Wu Ren" is completely unnecessary. With the National Technical Committee for Standardization of Bakery Products Pastry Sub-Technical Committee's explanation that the five kinds of nuts listed in the article, is based on the basic description of the "Cantonese five nuts moon cake", but "and so on" the word proposed, refers to the ingredients are not limited to the above five kinds of nuts. The word "etc." refers to the fact that the ingredients are not limited to the five nuts mentioned above. In layman's terms, as long as there are five kinds of "kernels", there is no obstacle to be called "five-kernel mooncake", as for the cold olive kernel, it is not a sufficient prerequisite for the summoning of the five-kernel mooncake.

The five-kernel mooncake, with its simple recipe and brutal taste, has always been a favorite in the paragraphs. And in this kind of trolling and deconstruction, folk mid-autumn culture can be playfully lively. The reason why the national standard of the moon cake is misinterpreted, perhaps with the mid-autumn cultural anxiety has a lot to do: the short mid-autumn festival, public opinion needs an intensive public **** issues to express cultural concerns, but in addition to the moon cake, at the moment there is what better choice? This is the earliest in the "Rites of Zhou" of the ancient festivals, in the difficult to complete the two rounds of the "small fortune", the traditional culture is vulgar for eating culture, leisure culture. In addition, the quality of the mooncake, such as the age of the mooncake is not dissipated over the years, heavy embroidery on the standard, naturally not very pleasing.

The sweet mooncake will eventually be slowly transformed. The ancient Mid-Autumn Festival, there will be a new inheritance. The first thing you need to do is to find a way to get the best out of your home. Such banter, of course, is the flow of common sense, but also on the vague Mid-Autumn Festival culture, taut strings of food safety, joyful and commonplace expression of concern.
