5. Suggestions from industry experts
1. Choose mainstream products in the range of 2-3.5 yuan for the most cost-effective products. If the price exceeds 5 yuan/piece, special attention should be paid to the traceability information of the ingredients.
2. The freshness of products in ready-made and steamed stores is better than that of cold-chain distributed products. The turnover rate can be judged by observing the store’s traffic flow.
3. Pay attention to the process differences between "Guangzhou-style Shaomai" (yellow skin) and "Northern Shaomai" (white skin). The two implement different industry standards.
4. When purchasing frozen siomai online, give priority to products with a production date within 7 days. The steaming time should be extended by 2-3 minutes after thawing.
Conclusion:Judging from the data, the price of Shaomai reflects not only the differences in regional food culture, but also the trend of consumption upgrading. It is recommended that consumers choose according to actual needs and do not blindly pursue high-priced products. Traditional community old stores often hide the most authentic taste.
