1. Introduction to Mè Xửng
Table of Contents
Mè Xửng is the most famous traditional confection of Hue, the ancient imperial capital of Vietnam. The name “Mè Xửng” comes from its two main components: “Mè” (sesame) and “Xửng” (the traditional steaming/cooking process). This candy is a delicate combination of toasted sesame seeds, crunchy peanuts, and a soft, chewy malt base.
At Vinahugo, we offer authentic Hue Sesame Candy that captures the essence of royal hospitality. It is not just a sweet treat; it is a cultural symbol often enjoyed with a cup of hot lotus tea, creating a lingering, sophisticated flavor profile.
