Qingdao Sorghum Candy

Qingdao Sorghum Candy

　　Qingdao sorghum candy from Shandong is a traditional and well-known brand of soft candy, renowned for its perfect balance of “bounce, chewiness, and softness.” It doesn’t stick to your teeth and tastes sweet and refreshing. The candy is made by mixing high-quality sorghum starch into a milk-like consistency, dissolving refined cane sugar into a syrup, and then simmering it over a long period with an appropriate amount of organic acid—producing various types of sugars and enzymes that are beneficial to the human body. Nowadays, in addition to using sorghum starch, other starches such as mung bean, corn, and sweet potato are also used to craft varieties like jade-green candy, mung bean candy, and pearl candy.
