2021-02-24 15:35:58

“Plain dressing looks best and pickles taste best.” This proverb is a true reflection of the life of the people of Hometown of Chinese Pickles. For the people of Fuling, it would be uncomfortable to have a plate of pickles missing from the dinner table.

Over the past 120 years, Fuling Pickled Mustard Tubers has gone from being a snack for the people on both sides of the Yangtze River to becoming the national “rice-matched dish” of the Chinese people in shopping malls. Perhaps it is as a poem about pickles says, “The seeds are scattered around White Dew, transplanted in Cold Dew; after a winter of growth, the harvest is obtained in spring. When the wind sends the winter away, tubers are pickled in the earthen jars; the flavor is therefore nurtured, and the dish of pickles is served for families after jars are opened”, Fuling Pickled Mustard Tubers also makes the lives of the local people more fragrant and tasty.
