About Small moon cake

Small Moon Cakes are traditional Chinese pastries enjoyed during the Mid-Autumn Festival as a symbol of unity and celebration. Typically round and about the size of a palm, they feature a rich, tender crust filled with sweet or savory fillings such as lotus seed paste, red bean paste, or salted duck egg yolks. Regional variations may include fruit, nuts, or even modern flavors like chocolate. While moon cakes are rich in flavor, they are also calorie-dense due to their high sugar and fat content, making them an occasional indulgence rather than a daily snack. Some fillings, such as nuts and seeds, offer small amounts of protein and beneficial fats, but the overall nutritional profile leans toward decadence rather than healthiness. Small moon cakes are best enjoyed in moderation, paired with tea to balance their sweetness and honor the holiday tradition.
