What raw materials are Longkou vermicelli made of?

In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, Zhaoyuan people created a new skill of making mung bean vermicelli. Due to the geographical environment and climatic advantages, Zhaoyuan vermicelli is famous for its "uniform silk strips, flexible texture, smoothness and transparency".

1860, Zhaoyuan fans began to assemble and ship in Longkou Port. In order to distinguish it from other fans in Yantai, the words "Longkou fans" and "Zhaoyuan basic place" were marked on the package, which was originally called "Longkou fans".

Historical origin of Longkou vermicelli

Longkou vermicelli is one of the traditional specialties in China with a long history of production. According to historical records, it has a history of more than 300 years. Zhaoyuan was the earliest birthplace, and later it gradually developed to Longkou, Penglai, Laizhou, Qixia, Laiyang and Haiyang.

The export of Longkou vermicelli can be traced back to 100 years ago. After the opening of Longkou Port in the fifth year of the Republic of China (19 16), vermicelli was directly transported to Hong Kong and Southeast Asian countries. At this time, most of the fans produced by Zhaoyuan and Longkou were sold to Longkou Fan Village, and Longkou became a fan distribution center, hence the name Longkou Fans.

Because of its excellent raw materials, suitable climate, fine processing and excellent product quality, it is called "the crown of vermicelli".
