　　 Product Features: Approximately 7 cm long and 2 cm in diameter, round and straight, the surface is covered with crushed cooked peanuts about the size of rice grains, and the color is waxy yellow.

　　 When broken, fine threads connect the pieces, resembling the way lotus roots break but threads remain.

It offers a unique aromatic flavor combining roasted peanuts and the chewy core (the middle part)!
