Mahua (sesame twists)

Mahua

　　　　Originally known as Qiaoshi, it originated from the folk custom of women praying to the Weaving Maid star for dexterity on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month. Mahua is made from high-quality flour, cane sugar, lard, salt, baking soda, and other ingredients. The dough is shaped into tongue-like strips, sprinkled with sesame seeds, and then baked. The Mahua produced by Wenzhou Bread Food Factory was awarded the Zhejiang Provincial Commercial Traditional Best Product Prize in 1983.
