It is important to eat stove candy during the Little New Year, but diabetics should eat less. Stove sugar is a kind of malt sugar with great viscosity. When it is drawn into a long stick, it is called "Kanto sugar", and when it is drawn into a flat round shape, it is called "sugar melon". In winter, it is placed outside. Because of the cold weather, the sugar melon solidifies and there are tiny bubbles inside. It tastes crispy, sweet and crunchy, with a unique flavor. Because there is too much sugar in stove candy, diabetics should eat less of it.
