Description
Pounded Peanut Candy or Kacang Tumbuk , a snack imbued with the essence of time and emotions, encapsulates the wisdom and craftsmanship of the common folk. It traces its roots back to the ancient art of meticulous pounding. In bygone eras, artisans tirelessly struck their rods until peanuts and sugar merged into a crispy confection. Legend has it that Pounded Peanut Candy was once presented as a treasured tribute to emperors, giving rise to its name. (In Chinese, “Gong” means tribute)
Heritaste carefully selects premium peanuts as the primary ingredient, which are then meticulously roasted at low temperatures to achieve optimal doneness.
This process reduces the oil content while preserving the tantalizing aroma of peanuts. By fusing traditional handcrafting techniques with modern natural processes, Heritaste not only maintains the authentic and pure nature of the food but also upholds its rich historical heritage. Pounded Peanut Candy is not solely confined to the collective memories of Hokkien people; its allure now captivates the younger generation. Its sweetness is delightful without being overwhelming, with a crispy texture that melts in the mouth, offering a blissful gustatory experience.
