Liuyang Fermented Black Beans

　　Liuyang Fermented Black Beans are a local specialty of Liuyang County. Made from black-eyed beans and small black beans through refined processing, the finished product is dark brown or soy sauce red in color, with wrinkled skins and dry, tender flesh. The beans are soft in texture and plump in grain. Once soaked in water to expand, they release a rich and savory juice, making them an excellent seasoning for cooking. The famous Hunan dish "Steamed Preserved Meats" is made using these beans as a seasoning. The beans also have certain medicinal properties and can help treat colds. A small amount of fermented black beans cooked with old ginger or scallion whites and pepper can help dispel cold and relieve exterior symptoms. Liuyang Fermented Black Beans are one of the essential local products that overseas Hunanese often buy when returning home for family visits.
