The King of Crispness — Beijing Crisp Sugar

The King of Crispness — Beijing Crisp Sugar

　　Beijing Crisp Sugar is one of China’s three famous sugars (alongside Shanghai milk candy, Guangzhou fruit candy, and Beijing Crisp Sugar), among which the Red Shrimp Crisp Sugar is considered the finest. Foreign merchants have praised it, saying: “Red Shrimp Crisp Sugar is unmatched—not even by America’s top brand, Golden Thread Crisp Sugar, let alone other countries’ versions.” The characteristics of Red Shrimp Crisp Sugar can be summarized as “crisp, flaky, fragrant, and sweet.” Its production combines the essence of traditional craftsmanship with carefully selected ingredients. Only high-quality pomegranate flower cane sugar, high-concentration glucose syrup, and “erba sesame paste” are used, all refined through multiple rounds of boiling, stretching, folding, and wrapping. This sugar has a thin, crisp outer layer and clearly layered filling. It tastes sweet and delicious, without sticking to the teeth or feeling greasy, and leaves no residue afterward. The surface of the crisp sugar is glossy and plump, adorned with white and brown stripes resembling the segmented body of a shrimp—hence the name “Red Shrimp.”
