During the moment of family reunion on Mid-Autumn Festival, sharing mooncakes is a traditional custom. However, while enjoying the delicacy, many people may have concerns about the high oil, sugar, and calorie content in mooncakes that could burden the body. To address this issue, nutritionists recommend a healthy and delicious mooncake – Pomelo Snow Skin Mooncake. The making of this mooncake is quite simple, it uses arrowroot powder as the main ingredient, paired with red bean paste, milk powder, and fresh pomelo, omitting the common high-calorie ingredients like sugar and butter in traditional mooncakes, effectively reducing fat intake. Compared to mooncakes available in the market, each Pomelo Snow Skin Mooncake has approximately 150 fewer calories, and the vitamin C content in pomelo juice is 3 times that of lemon and 7 times that of apple, adding points to health.
In addition, nutritionists also suggest that while enjoying mooncakes, one should consume more vegetables and fruits to achieve nutritional balance. For example, pomelo not only provides rich vitamin C, its natural sweet-sour taste can help relieve the greasiness from mooncakes. For friends who enjoy DIY, you can try adding nuts, longan, or wolfberries as natural ingredients into mooncakes as fillings, satisfying your taste buds while taking care of your health.
When choosing commercially available mooncakes, there are a few tips: when selecting salted egg yolks, look for products that are complete in texture, soft, with a natural egg aroma and slightly oily appearance; as for fillings, you can judge the quality and healthiness of mooncakes by observing the color, texture, and smell to ensure they are close to natural ingredients.
