Another lunar Chinese New Year's Eve night passed, and everyone was a year older. Here, Xiaobian first wishes the majority of netizens a good year of the pig and a safe and healthy family.
With our childhood, the most memories are eating sugar. Especially in the countryside, when I was a child, I went to visit the Door to visit the New Year, and the greatest happiness was the sugar given by the adults, open the sugar paper, and put a piece of sugar into my mouth, not to mention how sweet it is. And now, prawn shortbread is also a healthy food, high nutritional value, belongs to low sugar products, sugar content is less than 50%, contains plant protein 10%, contains vegetable fat 9%.
When I was a child, the rural materials were too scarce, and there were not so many fruits and nuts in the New Year, and the best thing was sugar. Of all the sugars, the most popular is the prawn shortbread, unlike those hard, slow to bite and slow fruit candy, prawn shortbread is sweet and crisp, melts in the mouth, not only the children's favorite, adults also love to eat. But why is this sugar called prawn crisp? As we all know, there is no shrimp ingredient in it, is there any reason?
Through the query, Xiaobian found that the naming of the name of the prawn crisp sugar did not have a professional explanation. Prawn crisp sugar is one of the three famous sugars in China, which is characterized by: thin skin filling, clear sugar filling, sweet and delicious to eat, no teeth and no greasy mouth, no residue in the mouth after eating, endless aftertaste. Many of the legends in the historical data cannot be true, and it is well documented that it was transformed from the "children's puff pastry" of some stores in Beijing, and after liberation, Beijing First Food Factory successfully developed the "red shrimp crisp candy", and became an export product, selling well internationally. Red shrimp crisp also won a silver medal from the State Council.
Seeing the history of the development of prawn crisp candy, in fact, it has nothing to do with prawns. Xiaobian believes that it may be that there is a red midline on the shrimp candy, which resembles the back of the prawn. In addition, in that era, before the reform and opening up, prawns belonged to high-grade food, and the average coastal family could not eat it, let alone the inland areas, so the name prawn candy also represented people's yearning for beautiful things at that time.
With the improvement of material life now, many people now feel that the name of "prawn crisp" is too earthy, and more people have begun to call it "peanut crisp", because it is made of peanut butter, and now prawns are also ordinary things that every household can eat.
Xiaobian believes that prawn crisp candy, as a very delicious candy in the era of material scarcity, accompanied by the childhood of the post-70s and post-80s, for them, a piece of candy in that year is really a great sense of happiness. The history of prawn crisp sugar for decades may disappear in the future, but in the hearts of the post-70s and post-80s, its position is still irreplaceable.
