🌱 Recommendation:
Vegan Lunar New Year foods refer to festive foods specifically designed for the Lunar New Year (Spring Festival) that contain absolutely no animal-based ingredients (such as eggs, milk, honey, animal fats, etc.). These foods are becoming increasingly popular in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Macau, and overseas Chinese communities, and are especially suitable for vegetarians, vegans, or those seeking a healthy diet. Traditional Lunar New Year foods are mostly pastries, candies, and fried snacks, while vegan versions typically use plant-based ingredients (such as rice, sugar, nuts, mushrooms, and soy products), emphasizing low oil and sugar content, no preservatives, and health benefits. They retain the festive auspicious meanings (such as New Year cake symbolizing "rising higher every year" and radish cake symbolizing "good fortune") while being healthier and more environmentally friendly.

Peanut Brittle, a popular and healthy Lunar New Year treat from Hong Kong brands like PremiOne and Eight Beauties, retains the century-old traditional Tangshan peanut brittle-making techniques: first, high-quality peanuts are roasted, ground into powder, and then mixed with a syrup made from maltitol. The mixture is pressed into thin sheets, layered, cooled, and then cut into pieces. It has a golden-yellow color, is crisp and not sticky, with a rich aroma and a lingering aftertaste.
Texture: Each bite offers a burst of crisp, fragrant peanut pieces and powder, accompanied by the mild sweetness of maltitol (sweetness close to sucrose but not cloying). The overall texture is crisp, dry, and doesn't stick to your teeth. The peanut aroma is abundant with each chew, becoming increasingly fragrant and guilt-free.
Nutritional Value: Peanuts are rich in protein (approximately 25-30%), healthy unsaturated fatty acids, vitamin E, B vitamins, and minerals (iron, magnesium, phosphorus). They help strengthen the spleen and stomach, moisten the lungs and resolve phlegm, improve brain function, protect the cardiovascular system, and have antioxidant properties. Maltitol is a plant-derived natural sugar substitute with only half the calories of sucrose, does not rapidly raise blood sugar, does not increase triglycerides, and can prevent tooth decay. This combination is suitable for those concerned about blood sugar, those trying to reduce sugar and fat intake, vegetarians, children, the elderly, and pregnant women for daily enjoyment. It is also suitable for ketogenic diets.
New Year's Significance: Peanuts are a common ingredient in Chinese New Year gift boxes or sets. They symbolize "continuous growth, wealth, and good fortune," and their golden color is festive and auspicious. The sugar-free, healthy version is even more suitable for modern families—it helps stabilize blood sugar in the elderly, prevents tooth decay in children, and is hygienic and presentable when shared during New Year's visits. Individually packaged (each peanut in its own small packet) is highly practical, avoiding contamination and convenient to carry or share on a coffee table.
Suggested Use: Simply open the package and eat 2-5 peanuts as a snack; it can be paired with tea to cut through the richness or added to yogurt for added flavor. The calories mainly come from peanut fat and a small amount of sugar alcohols. A moderate daily intake (5-10 pieces) is recommended; excessive consumption may cause mild diarrhea (due to the properties of sugar alcohols). Those controlling their blood sugar or with diabetes can enjoy this snack without worry, but blood sugar should still be monitored.
This snack perfectly combines traditional flavor with modern health benefits. Place it next to the whole box during the Lunar New Year, and everyone will be eager to eat it and praise its "healthy and delicious" taste! Making it yourself is also very simple: roast and grind peanuts, add maltitol to make a syrup, mix well, press into tablets, cool, and cut into pieces. 🧧🥜 Happy New Year, enjoy a sweet and worry-free treat!
