Sesame salt introduction:

According to legend, sesame salt originated from the "Cold Food Festival". This festival commemorates the courtiers and mesons of Jin Wengong during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. The Cold Food Festival, also known as Cooked Food Festival, No Smoking Festival and Cold Food Festival, mainly prohibits fire and cooking. People can only eat prepared cooked food and cold food, hence the name.

Before the annual Cold Food Festival, people cooked porridge and rice, boiled eggs, baked cakes and fried sesame salt. On the day of Cold Food Festival, roll eggs with pancakes and sprinkle some sesame salt. It tastes crisp and delicious. As a result, sesame salt gradually evolved into a local traditional snack.
