I took pictures of this Dragon Beard Candy street vendor in New York City Chinatown last week.
Dragon Beard Candy is a traditional Chinese sweet that was invented for the emperor about 2,000 years ago. It consists of many very fine strands of sugar, giving it the imagined appearance and consistency of a fine beard, like that of a dragon -- hence its name.
Have you tried Dragon Beard Candy before? You can find 8 different flavors of delicious Dragon Beard Candy on our site. The 8 different flavors include Original, Seaweed, Black Sesame, Almond, White Sesame, Spicy etc.
It is also a great gift idea.
