Big Bear is full of miscellaneous knowledge, little by little, day by day: sugar fried chestnuts

Eating sugar and fried chestnuts has always had to wait for the cold dew festival. Because the main thing you eat is a sweet and sticky taste, the cooler the day, the higher the sugar content of the chestnuts, and the sweeter it is in the mouth.

In the north of Tiannanhai, there are many areas that produce chestnuts, such as Shangyu in Zhejiang, Luotian in Hubei, and Jinzhai in Anhui, which are famous chestnut-producing areas, but the chestnuts in the south are not delicious, and you must use the chestnuts transported from the north.

Chestnuts produced in the south, large and full of moisture, but the sweetness is low, the taste is crisp, suitable for cooking, do chestnut cakes and chestnut powder in Western food, it is also very good, if fried to eat, the meaning is almost.

Chestnuts produced in the north, although smaller than in the south, can be highly sweet, have sufficient starch content, and are fried with a sweet and sticky taste.

Most of the people who sell sugar and stir-fried chestnuts now say that they are fried chestnuts from "Tianjin Liangxiang", but Liangxiang is located in Fangshan, Beijing. Probably because the traffic in the old days was not developed, Liangxiang was not far from Tianjin, and it was passed from person to person and mouth, and a famous food brand was called out: "Liangxiang Chestnuts".
