Bean candy

An intangible cultural heritage that only less than 20 people in China know how to make - Huizhou embedded bean candy.

This is an ancient Huizhou traditional food known as "semantic".

This is an intangible cultural heritage food that is on the verge of being lost.

Nowadays, few people master this craft.

There are less than 20 people in the country who can do it.

And they are all elderly people who are over seventy years old.

This is Huizhou inlaid bean candy.

The raw materials of the bean candy are very simple, but the inlay technology is extremely complicated. Without many years of craftsmanship inheritance, it is difficult to make the inlaid bean candy with neat handwriting, beautiful and elegant.

The reason why the word bean candy is famous is due to the sesame seeds between the small square pieces of the bean candy. The process is not done overnight and requires grinding, boiling, rolling, cutting and other steps.
