Golden wheat

　　The wheat from Guyuan boasts plump endosperm, thick husks, heavy grains, and high quality. The flour milled from it is resilient and especially suitable for making all kinds of pastries and noodles. Locals in Guyuan excel at noodle-making, skilled in rolling, pulling, stretching, shaving, and tossing. Foods such as fried dough twists and oil fragrant cakes made from wheat flour are golden, translucent, crispy, and delicious, deeply loved by the Hui people. They are indispensable during festivals such as Eid al-Adha and Eid al-Fitr. The Han people also steam large steamed buns from wheat flour when arranging engagements or giving gifts. The tops of these buns are marked with a red dot, symbolizing joy and blessings. (Guyuan)
