Historical origin of Ejiao walnut cake

Ejiao walnut paste, also known as Guyuan paste, began to spread as early as the Tang Dynasty. At that time, people called Ejiao Walnut Cream "Guifei Beauty Cream", which is said to be original by Yang Guifei. Its formula includes donkey-hide gelatin, walnut, black sesame, yellow wine and crystal sugar. This medicated diet book has recorded many times that regular eating can nourish blood and moisten skin, tonify kidney and blacken hair, and prolong life.

It is not known whether Yang Guifei's beautiful face is related to her frequent eating of Ejiao walnut paste, but there is a sentence in "Supplement to 300 Tang Poems": "Lead flowers are washed away one after another, and fish can't stop falling lotus leaves." Gillian in dark clothes refused to say, only that she was born a gentleman. "

In the Qing Dynasty, Empress Dowager Cixi also loved to eat donkey-hide gelatin and walnut paste. According to the Preface to the Qing Palace, "The Queen Mother loves to eat walnut paste, so the old man's skin is greasy", and walnuts are also walnuts. In modern times, it is not uncommon for donkey-hide gelatin and walnuts to be made into paste. The daughter of a large family and the wife of an official's family often regard it as a food to prolong life in beauty beauty. Jujube is added to Ejiao Walnut Paste in the circulation process to enhance its blood-enriching effect, and at the same time, with the help of jujube's function of tonifying the middle, the greasiness of Ejiao and Walnut is reduced.

However, Ejiao walnut paste is not easy to preserve, and it is particularly troublesome to eat and cook now. Shandong Huaxin Pharmaceutical Group aims at fast-paced life in modern cities.
