Sichuan Hechuan Peach Slices

Sichuan Hechuan Peach Slices

　　Hechuan Peach Slices were first created in 1840. Made from premium glutinous rice, walnut kernels, Sichuan white sugar, honeyed rose petals, and other high-quality ingredients, they are one of the local specialty products of Sichuan Province. They are known for their fine, smooth texture, tenderness, thin slices, and a structure that resembles “scroll-wrapped rolls” which remain intact when pulled apart. They are snow-white in color, sweet and fragrant in taste, with a strong aroma of walnut and rose. In 1917, they won the Panama Gold Award at the Panama Exposition. In 1926, at the Chengdu “Flower Fair,” two Hechuan peach slice manufacturers took home the Special Grade and First Grade awards respectively. They were also recognized as a quality product of 1979 by the Sichuan Provincial Commercial Bureau. Color: Jade white with luster. Texture: Soft and tender slices, easy to separate yet able to be rolled up without sticking, with no separated walnut kernels, sugar crystals, or impurities. Taste: Sweet, moist, and fragrant with the flavors of walnut and rose, leaving a lingering fresh aftertaste.
