a look: 1. trademarks, when buying moon cakes, you should choose the products of regular manufacturers.

2. production date and shelf life, and check whether the packaging is complete.

3. whether there is obvious greasy feeling on the surface of the moon cake, whether the shape of the moon cake is standardized, whether the color is uniform, whether the pattern is clear, and whether there is scorching and mildew. The newly-made moon cake is bright in color, shiny in appearance, golden and even in skin, hard and not exposed and deformed, with clear patterns and handwriting on the surface. When the moon cake is opened, the stuffing is fine and dense, and there are no impurities visible to the naked eye. If it is egg yolk lotus paste stuffing, the egg yolk should be complete and the interface with the stuffing should be clear. The yolk is bright red or golden yellow. Cantonese-style moon cakes are thin and stuffed, and the thickness of the skin is generally less than 2mm.

second smell: the moon cake itself should have no peculiar smell or rancid smell, but the unique fragrance of the stuffing itself, such as lotus seeds and red bean paste. If it is a mooncake with egg yolk and lotus seed paste, the egg yolk should have its own unique fragrance.

three tastes: fresh moon cakes have a soft taste. Old and inferior moon cakes are not straight in color, dull and bright, and their hair is black and dry. In addition, some moon cakes look dark, and inferior oil may be used.
