Beijing-style snack pea yellow
Pea yellow was originally a folk snack and was later introduced to the court. Qing Guan's pea yellow uses high-quality white peas as raw materials to make a finished product with light yellow, delicate and pure color. It melts immediately in the mouth. It tastes sweet, cool and refreshing. He is famous for his love for eating. The method is to grind peas, peel them, wash them, boil them, fry them with sugar, condense them, and cut them into pieces. Traditional practice also requires embedding red dates meat. It is the most famous for its Fangshan Restaurant.

For example, in the Peach Palace on the third month of March,"small dates, rough peas, yellow peas," is a seasonal fresh product. The vendors shouted,"Hey, these small dates, yellow peas, come in big pieces! "It seems to be giving people spring news and bringing warmth.
