Sesame Candy

　　Sesame Candy

　　A traditional handmade food product from Daguan, with a history of over a hundred years. The most famous variety comes from Daguan’ao in Ganhai Village, Shoushan Township—crisp, sweet, and with a long-lasting aftertaste.

　　Made primarily from carefully selected glutinous rice, sesame seeds, and white sugar, and blended with ingredients such as osmanthus and kumquat cake, it is completely free from chemical contaminants or additives, making it a purely natural green food. Renowned worldwide for its unique flavor—fragrant, sweet, thin, and crisp—sesame candy boasts a delicate fragrance without being overpowering, sweetness without being cloying, and an endless aftertaste. It is classically characterized by its resemblance to a white jade comb, its purity like white jade, its thinness like cicada wings, and its sweetness like honey. Rich in nutrients, it contains protein, glucose, and various vitamins, and offers benefits such as warming the lungs, nourishing the stomach, supporting the liver, and tonifying the kidneys.
