紅白兩色的生仁糖,又稱「天公豆」,是春節期間最常見的傳統糖果,是由臺灣本地花生炒熟後,翻滾時再將薄糖漿沾濕花生再灑入糖粉使其包裹住。花生有著長壽的寓意,加以花生需去殼食用,故也有象徵脫胎換骨的內涵,而「仁」則與人同音,生仁之名又代表著祈求人丁興旺之意。酥脆順口,一粒接著一粒,新春過年期間最為應景。
These red-and-white candies, popular during Lunar New Year, are known as ''beans of the deity.'' Locally-grown peanuts are cooked, stirred with syrup, and coated with powdered sugar. Peanuts symbolize longevity and ''rebirth'' as they're shelled before eating. A must-have for the festive occasion.
