How to buy candy

1. Packaging

High-quality candy, the packaging paper has good moisture resistance, the trademark pattern, sugar name, and factory name are clear. Ordinary candies are generally packaged with only one layer of packaging, and some packaging papers do not even have the factory name on them, and the quality is very poor.

2. Appearance

Good quality candy, smooth surface, no cracks, no defects, no sticking, no impurities, good transparency. The filling candy is not exposed. If the candy is incomplete in size, sticky, and has no transparency, it is a poor candy.

Each candy has its own fragrance. If a certain candy loses its own inherent fragrance, the candy will undergo a qualitative change, and consumers should not buy it.

3. Taste

The sweetness of good candy is smooth and moderate, and there is no other odor. Toffees, meringues, and chocolate candies should be creamy. Inferior candies have burnt bitterness and other unpleasant tastes. Good candies should be well packaged, hard candies should be firm and brittle, soft candies should be soft and elastic, and center-filled candies should not reveal the filling. All candies should be non-sticky to teeth and paper. If you have sand, you should not buy it.

4. Number of grains

The candies produced by regular manufacturers have a certain number of grains per kilogram and are uniform in size. Below 100 grains (blocks) per kilogram, the allowable difference is 2; for 100-200 grains, the allowable difference is 4; for more than 200 grains, the allowable difference is 6 soil. If the number of candies purchased does not meet the above values, it is of poor quality.

5. Hair sand

If the wrapping paper on the surface of the candy has a small amount of stickiness, it is slightly closed; if it begins to melt and deform, it is serious. If the white sand layer on the surface of the candy is 1-2m, it is slightly sandy; if it is 3-5m, it is seriously sandy. Hair sand is the phenomenon in which the sucrose in the candy melts and recrystallizes. Serious hair sand, making the candy a crunchy and brittle sand block, should not be purchased.
