This food is so popular that it is almost an indispensable part of every Beijinger's childhood.
It was originally made mainly of Chinese hawthorn, but these days there are many different types including yam, orange, chufa, banana, Chinese gooseberry and so on. It is not difficult to make sugar-coated haws on a stick. First you have to boil sugar into a syrup into which you roll the haws. Eventually the syrup cools down to form a transparent and crystalline layer over the haws. Chinese hawthorns are rich in vitamins维他命(wéi tā mìng ) and dietary fiber, which helps digestion. The snack 小吃(xiǎo chī )has a sweet甜(tián ) and sour酸(suān ) flavor, which has often been compared to the ups and downs of life. Do you want to taste this delicious food ? Come on!
