The traditional production process of Pujiang rice candy is a method of making local specialty pastries. It originated from the beautiful Pujiang and is a great wealth of the people of Pujiang. It began in the Tang and Song Dynasties, was refined in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and reached its peak in modern times. It has a history of more than 300 years. The unique geographical climate, long historical heritage and exquisite traditional craftsmanship have created the unique quality of Pujiang rice candy, which is "fresh and delicious, sweet and refreshing, crispy and crumbly, fragrant aftertaste, and suitable for all ages". Pujiang, which enjoys the reputation of "Green Pujiang, Natural Oxygen Bar", is a famous national ecological demonstration area with excellent ecological environment, abundant rainfall, fertile land, and less sunshine and humid air all year round, which breeds high-quality raw materials for rice candy production. Pujiang rice candy originated from the easy-to-carry dry food on the "Ancient Tea Horse Road" in the middle of the Tang Dynasty. During the Qing Dynasty, rice candy had become an offering for Pujiang people to worship their ancestors during the Spring Festival and a New Year gift for visiting relatives and friends. During the Guangxu period, Pujiang rice candy was also selected into the palace as a snack in the palace. During the Anti-Japanese War, Pujiang rice candy also became an important material to support the front line of the war. The long-standing historical heritage has endowed Pujiang rice candy with a profound cultural connotation. The traditional production process of Pujiang rice candy uses local high-quality glutinous rice, white sugar, maltose, vegetable oil, etc. as the main raw materials, with selected peanuts, sesame, etc., and is refined through processes such as washing, soaking, steaming, drying, grading, baking, puffing, mixing, molding and packaging. The length of glutinous rice steaming time, the grasp of the cloudy rice season, the dryness and wetness of drying water, and the control of puffing temperature are all crucial links. The process seems simple, but it is exquisite and sophisticated. It focuses on the accurate mastery of traditional skills, which is difficult to imitate and cannot be copied. The traditional production process of Pujiang rice candy is closely linked, exquisite and unique, and is interdependent and combined with Pujiang's unique geographical climate environment and historical humanities, which has created the unique flavor of Pujiang rice candy. Over the years, the products have been deeply loved by people and are now exported to many countries and regions such as the United States, Japan, Singapore, New Zealand, and Australia. They are the first choice for people to relax, travel, and give gifts to relatives and friends.
