The wheat flour used in our Karinto Chun Zao is milled from 100% Taiwanese wheat. We specifically use Taiwan's unique Taichung Select No. 2 hard red winter wheat variety, cultivated using environmentally friendly practices that avoid pesticides, chemical fertilizers, and herbicides. Compared to imported flour, Taiwanese wheat flour bypasses lengthy transportation and storage. It's not only fresher but also significantly reduces the food's carbon footprint. Harvested and processed fresh, it has a shorter shelf life but boasts a rich wheat aroma. With 100% no improvers added, it offers a truly wholesome choice. https://www.newsmarket.com.tw/shop/files/2021/10/IMG_4098.jpg **Small-Batch Fresh Production, Reduced Sugar and Oil Recipe** Through extensive testing and tasting, we discovered that Chun Zao made with Taiwanese wheat achieves a satisfying crispness without being oily. Our recipe uses less sugar, and each batch is produced in small quantities. Employing a rare semi-frying and baking method, we use only a single type of oil, replaced daily, ensuring no reused oil is involved. An additional baking step further reduces the oil content while maintaining a delightful crispness, making them exceptionally delicious. Made with naturally fermented local wheat, these snacks contain no artificial flavors, colors, preservatives, or shortening. They are a lighter indulgence, perfect as a festive snack, a comforting treat to uplift your spirits, and a bite of pure happiness. https://www.newsmarket.com.tw/shop/files/2024/12/hualin-candied-0J2A1672.jpg
