Dragon's beard candy

Dragon's beard candy or Chinese cotton candy or Longxusu is a handmade traditional Chinese confectionary similar to floss halva or Western cotton candy. Dragon's beard candy was initially created in China, but was soon popularized in other parts of East Asia and South East Asia. It became a regional delicacy in South Korea in the 1990s, Singapore in the 1980s, then in Canada and the United States. It has a low sugar content (19%) and low saturated fat content (2%). By comparison, cotton candy is fat free with a very high sugar content (94%). Dragon's beard candy has a very short shelf life. It is highly sensitive to moisture and tends to melt in warm temperatures.
