Malong Buckwheat Threads

　　Malong Buckwheat Threads have been famous across various counties and prefectures in the province since the Ming and Qing dynasties. It is said that the production technique was introduced to Malong as early as the Hongwu era of the Ming dynasty. During the Jiaqing reign of the Qing dynasty, Li Shiying from Beimen Street in Tongquan Town improved the technique, enhancing both quality and yield. By the Republican era, buckwheat thread production had become widespread among households. Malong Buckwheat Threads feature a bright yellow and transparent color, are rich in nutrition, crispy and delicious, and contain abundant protein and vitamins. They make an ideal gift for family and friends and are also a beauty and health-enhancing food. (Qujing)
