Sun Yat-sen Almond Cookies

Sun Yat-sen Almond Cookies

　　　Sun Yat-sen Almond Cookies were first created in 1918 and are produced in Zhongshan City, Guangdong Province. They are named for their almond-like appearance. With over eighty years of history, they were originally made at home for personal consumption. Later, they were developed into a commercial product, and their shape was changed to small round biscuits. The cookies are made by first selecting first-grade mung beans, which are refined into mung bean flour using traditional methods; these are then blended with premium chrysanthemum essence. The biscuit is crisp on the outside, sweet in the center, melts in the mouth, and has a unique flavor. Zhongshan almond cookies are considered authentic when made by Sun Yat-sen, which produces them on the largest scale and with the highest quality, hence they are also known as Sun Yat-sen Cookies. The product is exported to Europe, America, Southeast Asia, Hong Kong, and Macau.
