Life in China 2016: A Picture A Day, September 17 – Corn Juice is a fairly common drink in China. I’ve had the basic kind, which is just sweetened corn juice, like the picture on the right, which is from our Pizza Hut menu. This one is served hot and is actually pretty good :-) The other day we saw the sign on the left in a little food court area in Dongguan, unfortunately after we had just had some tea, or I would have tried something new! It was for freshly squeezed corn juice, mixed with other ingredients: red bean, mung bean, black bean, banana, papaya and black sesame, as well as just plain corn. The advertising promotes it as fresh, healthy and natural, saying it is good for the stomach, spleen, protects against cancer, prevents aging and improves memory! Quite a list, if it’s true, I’ll try it just for the last two! You can also buy corn candy and corn ice cream bars here :-) (Thanks again to Leah for the help with translation)
