Huamei is one of the most classic and widely recognized types of preserved fruit, primarily made from green plums. Its traditional production process is intricate, typically involving salting (for dehydration and removing astringency), rinsing, sun-drying the plum embryos, followed by multiple rounds of steeping in sugar and a decoction of spices like licorice, and finally oven-drying or natural air-drying. The finished product has a dry surface, often coated with white sugar frost or seasoning powder, and a firm flesh. Its flavor profile masterfully combines sour, sweet, and salty notes, offering a complex taste experience that stimulates salivation and leaves a long-lasting aftertaste. Not only is it a popular snack, but it is also traditionally believed to promote salivation, quench thirst, and soothe the throat, making it a common choice for travel or as a daily pick-me-up.

A classic Cantonese preserved fruit, it is crafted from high-quality green plums and aged Xinhui tangerine peel. Using a traditional “nine-time stewing” process—repeated steaming, sun-drying, and steeping with licorice, sugar, and salt—the plum and tangerine peel fully blend, resulting in a dark, glossy, and plump preserve. Its texture is tender yet chewy, with a complex flavor: initially sweet, sour, and savory from the plum, followed by the mellow citrus aroma of the peel and a lingering licorice sweetness. Combining the traditional benefits of plum (promoting salivation) and tangerine peel (regulating Qi and aiding digestion), it is esteemed as a remedy to “resolve phlegm, soothe Qi, and stimulate appetite.” A quintessential variety among Cantonese preserved fruits.

A preserved fruit that combines dried apricots with the distinctive flavor of aged tangerine peel. It is typically made by steeping plump apricot halves or apricot embryos together with shredded or powdered aged Xinhui tangerine peel, along with licorice, sugar, and salt.

The finished product has a deep amber or brownish color with a thick, tender, and chewy texture. Its taste is a balanced sweet and sour with a hint of saltiness, where the natural tartness and sweetness of the apricot are enhanced by the unique citrus fragrance and lingering sweetness of the tangerine peel. Combining the traditional benefits of apricot (promoting salivation) and tangerine peel (regulating Qi and aiding digestion), it is often enjoyed as a snack to stimulate appetite and aid digestion.

A flavored preserved fruit made primarily from tender ginger and steeped in fresh lemon juice. The production typically involves selecting crisp young ginger, which is washed, sliced, or diced, then marinated with lemon juice, sugar, and a small amount of salt. This allows the ginger to fully absorb the refreshing tartness of the lemon and the sweetness of the sugar, followed by moderate drying or natural air-drying. The finished product has a pale yellow or light amber color and a translucent appearance. Its texture is crisp, with a distinctive flavor profile: the bright sweet-and-sour taste of lemon comes first, followed by the gradual release of ginger’s mild spiciness. This sweet, sour, and slightly pungent combination stimulates appetite and promotes salivation. By skillfully combining the properties of ginger (dispelling cold and warming the stomach) and lemon (promoting salivation and cutting through greasiness), it serves as a refreshing, invigorating, and healthy everyday snack.
