Jinhua Mao Tan

"Mao Tan", also known as "Matan" and "Flat Peach Fruit", is a traditional cake with Jinhua characteristics, which is made of superior glutinous rice and Jinhua local red-haired taro. It has been famous at home and abroad since 1950. In 2013, Jinhua Mao Tan's traditional production skills were listed in Jinhua Intangible Cultural Heritage List, and Jinhua Origin Pastry Food Factory, the manufacturer of authentic Jinhua Mao Tan, won the title of "Zhejiang Time-honored Brand". Jinhua Mao Tan, a representative inheritor of Mao Tan's traditional production skills, is a must. It is necessary to select pure glutinous rice, soak it, drench it, grind it into powder, steam it into lumps, then put it into a stone mortar with the raw taro mud of Jinhua taro (red taro) ground by hand, pick it with a wooden stick for countless times, cut it into strips, then sun it, and form a Mao Tan embryo as hard as a stone for one to two months, and then heat it. This crispy and delicious Jinhua pastry snack is said to have a longer history than Jinhua ham.
