About Dragon floss candy
Dragon Floss Candy, also known as "Chinese Cotton Candy" or "Dragon Beard Candy," is a traditional sweet treat originating from ancient Chinese cuisine. It is crafted from finely-pulled sugar strands, resembling delicate threads, which are intricately wrapped around a center of ground peanuts, sesame seeds, or shredded coconut. The candy typically combines granulated sugar, maltose syrup, and occasionally corn syrup to achieve its signature thread-like texture. While Dragon Floss Candy is a captivating display of artisanal skill and culture, it is high in sugar and thus best enjoyed in moderation. The inclusion of nutrient-rich nuts and seeds offers a slight nutritional benefit, providing healthy fats, protein, and minerals, but these are overshadowed by the candy's sugar content. Delightfully light and sweet, it’s more of an indulgent cultural experience than a health-conscious snack.
