The mystery of Li Ren snacks
In addition to sugar chestnuts, it is also common to eat the snacks of the whole chestnut kernels.They have a sweet taste, and the shelf life can be up to one year, but the observation of the ingredient table is only one chestnut, and there is no additional ingredients. Why is this?
This kind of snack has a long shelf life because the chestnut kernels must undergo a series of processes including raw materials, shelling and peeling, color protection, hardening, drain, drying, sterilization, and so on.
The CCTV Agricultural "Who Knowing the Chinese Food" section visited a chestnut processing plant on the spot. The factory’s method is to pocket the chestnuts that are steamed to half -cooked, and then sprayed with hot water sprayed by a high -temperature sterilization cooker to 121 ° C.It can not only sterilize, but also make chestnuts to keep the taste soft and waxy.
As for the sweetness of the chestnut kernels, the factory will first choose the appropriate chestnut variety, and then place the newly collected chestnut low -temperature environment for more than a month. During the process, chestnut starch will be glycated and the sweetness will rise, so you do not need to add additional sugar to sugar.Or sweetener.
