Can you eat "moon cakes"?

On the Mid-Autumn Festival, every family should eat moon cakes. However, eating moon cakes is also exquisite:

1、 Eat salty first and then sweet. If there are sweet and salty mooncakes, they should be tasted in the order of salty first and then sweet, otherwise they will not taste

2、 Taste moon cakes with tea. Too many moon cakes are easy to get greasy. If you drink a cup of light tea (scented tea is appropriate), you can eat and drink while eating, the taste is even more wonderful

3、 Eating moon cakes should be appropriate. The moon cakes contain high sugar and fat. Eating too much will cause gastrointestinal discomfort, especially for the elderly, children or those with weak gastrointestinal function

4、 Eat fresh moon cakes. People often buy many moon cakes at a time during the holiday season, and the moon cakes can easily cause the stuffing to deteriorate and food poisoning after eating. Therefore, it is best to buy and eat the moon cakes at any time

Most of the mooncakes bought by families during the holiday can last for a longer time or even after the holiday. In order to prevent the deterioration of the mooncakes, the leftover mooncakes should be properly stored

The filling of moon cakes is generally divided into two types: soft and hard. The soft filling contains a lot of water and can only be stored for about 7 to 10 days, while the hard filling can be stored for about 1 month. For those families who have not used refrigerators, moon cakes should not be stored in sealed containers for a long time. It is better to store them in bamboo baskets, cover them with a piece of clean paper, and then hang them in a ventilated and cool place. For boxed moon cakes, the box cover should be opened to keep them ventilated. In addition, Because moon cakes contain a lot of fat, they should also be stored away from light to prevent fat oxidation and rancidity

The Mid-Autumn Festival moon cake is a seasonal food. It is best to produce, sell, buy and eat it now. It should not be left for too long to maintain the color, fragrance, taste and special flavor of the moon cake.

So, how should we keep moon cakes?

The moon cakes should be handled with care, especially the Soviet-style moon cakes are most easily broken because of their crisp skin. If the cake peel falls off, it will not only affect the appearance, but also affect the taste and quality, and it will be easily affected by moisture.

The moon cake is rich in oil and sugar, and it is very easy to mildew and deteriorate when it is heated or damped, so it must be stored in a cool, cool and ventilated place. Generally speaking, the moon cake is soft, moist and easy to deteriorate. It is best to put the moon cake together with the packaging box into the refrigerator freezer and take it out an hour before eating to ensure its taste. Under the temperature of 25 ℃, the moon cakes with almond and fruit filling can be stored for about 15 days; The storage time of moon cakes filled with bean paste, lotus seed paste and jujube paste should not exceed 10 days; If the temperature exceeds 30 ℃, the storage time of moon cakes should also be appropriately shortened, generally not more than 7 days; As for fresh meat, shredded chicken, ham and other moon cakes, you should buy and eat as you like.

When storing moon cakes, they should not be put together with other foods and sundries, so as not to cross taste and lose their proper taste and characteristics. During storage, attention should also be paid to prevent cockroaches, ants, mice and other encroachments to prevent infectious diseases. In order to ensure the quality and freshness of moon cakes, when purchasing moon cakes in boxes or in bulk, the date of production or delivery should be clearly seen so as to grasp the shelf life.

 你会吃"月饼"吗?

     中秋佳节，家家都要吃月饼.但是，吃月饼也是有讲究的：

　　一、先吃咸后吃甜.如有甜、咸两种月饼，应按先咸后甜的顺序来品尝，否则就吃不出味道来.

　　二、品尝月饼伴茶水.月饼吃多了易腻，若配饮一杯淡茶（以花茶为宜），边吃边饮，味道更是妙不可言.

　　三、吃月饼要适量.月饼中含糖量和油脂较高，吃多了则会引起肠胃不适，尤其是老人、儿童或肠胃功能较弱者，吃时更要注意，一定要适量.

　　四、要吃新鲜月饼.过节时人们往往一次买许多月饼，而月饼放置时间久易引起馅心变质，吃后容易发生食物中毒.因此，月饼最好随买随吃.

　　一般家庭过节时，所买月饼大都能到节日过后，甚至更长时间，为了防止月饼的变质，对吃剩的月饼应妥善保存.

　　月饼的饼馅一般分为软硬两种.软馅中含水分较多，只能保存7到10天左右，而硬馅月饼则可保存1个月左右.对那些还未使用冰箱的家庭，月饼一般不宜存放在密封的容器内久藏，最好存放在竹篮里，在上面加盖一张干净纸，然后挂在通风阴凉的地方.盒装月饼，应将盒盖打开，使其通风.另外，因月饼中含脂肪较多，存放时还应注意避光，以防油脂氧化酸败.

　　中秋月饼是应时食品，最宜现产、现销和现买、现吃，不宜放过久，才能保持月饼的色、香、味和应有的特殊风味。

　　那么，应怎样保存月饼呢？

　　月饼要轻拿轻放，尤其是苏式月饼因皮酥松，最容易破碎。如果饼皮脱落，不仅影响外观，而且影响口味、质量，并且易受潮变质。

　　月饼含有丰富的油脂和糖分，受热受潮都极易发霉、变质，所以一定要将月饼存放在低温、阴凉、通风的地方。一般来说，月饼皮软、水分大、易变质，最好将月饼连带包装盒一起放入冰箱冷藏室，食前一小时取出，可保证它的口味。在25摄氏度的气温环境下，杏仁、百果等馅心月饼可存放15天左右；豆沙、莲蓉、枣泥等馅心月饼，存放时间则不宜超过10天；如果气温超过30摄氏度，月饼存放的时间还应该适当缩短，一般不宜超过7天；至于鲜肉、鸡丝、火腿等月饼，应随买随吃。

　　月饼存放时，不宜与其他食品、杂物放在一起，以免串味，失去应有的口味和特色。存放期间还要注意防止蟑螂、蚂蚁、老鼠等侵食，以防传染疾病。为保证月饼的质量新鲜，购买盒装月饼或散装月饼时，均应看清生产日期或出厂日期，以便掌握保存期。
