I remember when I was young, when the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, my grandmother would make dumplings for us, and also eat noodles and sweets. In fact, at that time, my mother went to the Northwest to help the border, and the life at home was not easy. Grandma would take us for a small year anyway, and would also nag "Twenty-three sugar melon stickers,..." But I haven’t listened for many years I will read the words clearly in the back, but I always learn to say naughtyly. Grandma always doesn’t make it clear, hi! Now I know, the era at that time could not be made clear, so grandma always said that sugar can’t stick to her mouth, The sweet sticky cantaloupe is maltose, known as Kanto sugar in the North.

　　Now we have seen Kanto sugar again in the past two days, and thought of the sweet and original color of Kanto sugar. Today we have too many varieties of candy colors. Looking back, it seems that Kanto sugar is still sweet in me In my heart, because that is the sweetness I can expect from a hard life as a child...

　　 Speaking of Kanto sugar, remember that grandma said: "Can..., stop coughing." However, eating sugar will produce phlegm, how can "coughing"? Later I learned that there are still one or two things here!

　　 Kanto sugar is caramel, which is fermented and saccharified by rice, barley, wheat, millet, or maize. Maltose, glutinous sugar, sugar, gum, gum, soft candy, sugar antimony. The caramel is mainly maltose, which is sweet and warm, can slow down the tonic, strengthen the spleen and stomach, replenish the body and moisten the dryness, fill the lungs and cough. Suitable for body weakness, stomach pains, cough. In "Compendium of Materia Medica" it is recorded that: 饴饧 is made of wheat tillers or buds of rice and boiled with rice, the ancients eat many foods cold, so the doctors also adopted it.

The medicinal effect of 　　 caramel is based on those with a thick and soft texture like honey, and those with a hard texture are poor. Traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions are often supplemented with caramel as a supplement for qi and nourishing qi, its nourishing and urgency, and strong stomach tonic effect is better than white sugar.
