Xiapu Maltose Candy

Xiapu Maltose Candy

　　Xiapu maltose candy, commonly known as “Mai Zai Gao,” is a specialty snack of southern Fujian. It boasts a golden, glossy hue, with a sticky, soft, and smooth texture. When held in the mouth, it melts deliciously sweet, tender, and velvety—almost dissolving yet not quite—accompanied by a rich, mellow malt aroma. Additionally, it is believed to aid digestion, nourish the spleen and stomach, and soothe the lungs while relieving coughs, making it a delightful treat suitable for all ages.
