Xinhui Chenpi is a traditional famous product in Xinhui District, Jiangmen City, Guangdong Province. The local dried tangerine peel has high medicinal value and is a traditional spice and condiment, so it has always enjoyed a high reputation. It is said that Xinhui dried tangerine peel is transported to all parts of the north, and it tastes more fragrant after passing through Lingnan. Overseas Chinese once took Xinhui Chenpi abroad by boat. When the ship arrived in the Pacific Ocean, it suddenly smelled a fragrance and could not hide it. Xinhui Chenpi exudes a fragrance, which is its unique quality. The preliminary test results of the drug inspection department show that due to the differences in soil conditions, cultivation techniques, farmland climate and so on, the morphology and tissue structure of the new-produced tangerine peel are similar to those of the transplanted tangerine peel from other places, but the composition and taste of the volatile oil are quite different. Therefore, the medicinal and flavoring effects are very different.
Xinhui spreads and practices many seasoning and eating methods of dried tangerine peel, such as dried tangerine peel with fish (steamed fish, fish eggs, dried tangerine peel worms, etc.). ), Chenpi with poultry (Chenpi duck, Chenpi partridge, etc. ), old belt animals (dried tangerine peel bones, dried tangerine peel beef, dried tangerine peel dog meat, etc. ), old belt flavor (Chenpi brine, Chenpi soy sauce, Chenpi sauce, etc. ), and dried tangerine peel
