As a child, I always expected the sound of “Ding-ding-tong” from Vendors selling rock maltose candy.<br />And grandpa would malt the wheat on his own to hand-pull maltose syrup for us.<br />From a handful of grain seeds to a basketful of wheat is a cycle of life.<br />Malt can turn into maltose, straws into hats, and flour into all divine combinations:<br />Steamed buns, cold jelly noodles, Chinese pork burgers, fried dough twists, noodles, and roasted gluten ...<br />What a treasure crop wheat is!
