What Is Tanghulu?
Bingtang hulu is a traditional candied fruit snack that has its origins in Northern China. Originally, it was made by skewering Chinese hawthorn fruit on a long bamboo skewer and dipping it in liquid sugar that hardens into a hard coating. Hawthorn berries have a tarter flavor, which allows a balance when the fruit is immersed in the sugar syrup.
It is a Chinese street food that takes the beauty of fresh fruit. Generally, vendors coat candied fruit with a layer of sugar syrup so that it is glossy and bright when it hardens.
Whether you want a treat for your child or an addictive, shiny dessert on a date, strawberry tanghulu will save the day. Instead of hawthorn fruit, strawberry tanghulu is now more popular. Other fruits like grapes, blueberries, apples, and pineapples also look beautiful and taste great!
