Do you know what the transparent paper that wraps the toffee is?

When we open the outer packaging of the toffee, we often see a layer of transparent tissue paper wrapped on the surface of the toffee, which can be eaten directly with the toffee

In fact, this thin layer of paper is called glutinous rice paper, which is a transparent, tasteless edible film

After the glutinous rice paper is eaten, it will undergo hydrolysis reaction under the catalysis of acid or enzyme in the body like other starch substances, and finally generate glucose, which is not harmful to the human body

Waxy rice paper is a commonly used anti-stick substance, which melts in the mouth and has no sweetness, and is widely used in the confectionery industry

In addition, the glutinous rice paper powder can also be obtained after the glutinous rice paper is pulverized and refined with a paper shredder
