Ginger Candy is one of the most distinctive local specialties in the Fenghuang ancient city.
With rich in nutrients, delicious, Ginger Candy can also treat colds. It is particularly suitable for resisting colds and preventing colds. The ancients once left behind a dietary formula: "Women keep lotus roots for three days, men keep ginger for three days; in the morning, they eat a slice of ginger, better than ginseng soup, and often eat radishes and ginger without the need for doctors to prescribe medicine."
