First Harvest Taro Pastry

First Harvest Taro Pastry

　　The taro from Dajia is soft in texture and has long been the designated ingredient for Chaohu Taro Ice and Jiufen Taro Balls. Realizing that Dajia taro had always played a supporting role, Xianmai Food set out to develop a taro-flavored mooncake (i.e., taro pastry), launching it in time for the Mid-Autumn Festival. To their surprise, it became very popular, so they made it a regular item. It retains the traditional taro aroma while incorporating the finesse of Western-style pastries—the winning secret of Xianmai Taro Pastry. The light purple filling releases a rich taro fragrance with every bite, and its delicate, smooth texture is sweet without being cloying. (Taichung County)
