Tanghulu, also known as Bingtanghulu, is a traditional northern Chinese snack consisting of several hawthorn fruits wrapped in rock sugar and strung on bamboo sticks. It is named because of its gourd-like shape. Tanghulu is often mistaken for ordinary candied fruit; however, it is coated with hardened syrup. This sweet and sour snack has been made since the Song Dynasty and is still popular throughout northern China. Hawthorn is the traditional fruit for skewers, but more recently various other fruits such as cherry tomatoes, oranges, strawberries, blueberries, pineapples, kiwis, bananas or grapes are also used. The core and seeds of the hawthorn are hollowed out and usually filled with sweet bean paste before being skewered and dipped in sauce.
According to the place of origin, hawthorn can be divided into northern hawthorn and southern hawthorn. The northern hawthorn varieties with large size, thick flesh, good coloring and appropriate sugar-acid ratio are suitable for making tanghulu.
In winter, hawthorn products such as sugar snowballs and tanghulu are more popular, sour and sweet, and attractive. The bright red hawthorn represents auspiciousness and good luck, and is an important element of the festive atmosphere of the Spring Festival.
my country is one of the origins of hawthorn, and it has a history of cultivation for thousands of years. The middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River and the Bohai Rim are the earliest cultivation centers in my country, and production areas such as central and northern Liaoning, northeastern Hebei, central and southern Shandong, central and southern Shanxi, and northwestern Henan have been formed.
According to the different origins, hawthorn can be divided into northern hawthorn and southern hawthorn. Northern hawthorn is mainly produced in Shandong, Hebei, Henan and other places, while southern hawthorn is mainly produced in Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Hubei and other places. There is no significant difference in nutritional components between the two, but due to differences in climate and growth environment, the content and types of functional ingredients such as hawthorn flavonoids and organic acids in different production areas vary greatly.
Sugar-coated haws is one of the most representative traditional hawthorn snacks. As early as the Southern Song Dynasty, hawthorn processed products, sugar-coated haws, appeared.
So, what kind of hawthorn is suitable for making sugar-coated haws? Choose varieties of northern hawthorn that are large, thick, well-colored, and have a suitable sugar-acid ratio, such as Dajinxing and Waibahong. Waibahong is especially suitable for making candied haws, which are sweet and sour.
When it comes to hawthorn, many people's first feeling is "sour teeth". In fact, the sugar content of hawthorn is more than twice that of apples and pears, but because the organic acid content in the fruit is two to three times higher than that of apples and pears, hawthorn tastes more sour than sweet.
Except for a small part used for fresh consumption, most hawthorns are used for processing. Traditional hawthorn products mainly include candied haws, fruit danpi, canned hawthorn, hawthorn cake, hawthorn beverage, hawthorn jam, dried hawthorn, etc. With the continuous development of modern processing technology, hawthorn products are gradually developing in a diversified direction, and products such as hawthorn concentrated juice, hawthorn wine, hawthorn powder, hawthorn crisps, freeze-dried hawthorn, hawthorn yogurt, and hawthorn ice cream have appeared.
However, it is worth noting that although hawthorn is sweet and sour and rich in nutrition, it is not recommended to eat it in large quantities. In addition, hawthorn should not be eaten on an empty stomach. It is best to eat 3-5 pieces at a time.
