Sweet-scented osmanthus chicken head rice chicken head rice, which has nothing to do with chickens, is just a rare aquatic specialty in Nantang, Fengmen, Suzhou, also known as Gordon Euryale. The head of a chicken is also related to chickens. Because the degraded part of the calyx on the fruit of Euryale ferox is shaped like a chicken's beak, everyone gave it the kind and appropriate common name "Chicken's head rice". Its flesh is jade white in color, and its particles are like beads, sweet, moist, soft and waxy, that is, it is called chicken head meat, which is peeled off from the shell by the farmer. Because of the labor-consuming, the chicken's head rice itself is a tonic comparable to tremella, so the price is relatively expensive. Sweet-scented osmanthus chicken head meat, with chicken head meat, sweet-scented osmanthus sugar and soft sugar as the main auxiliary raw materials, is sweet and delicious after being made, and is a favorite dessert of local people.
