In winter, it's the sweet and fragrant season. When it comes to red dates, many people think of the soft and delicious date cake.

Besides the rich pectin content in red jujube, the more important thing is that the matching millet contains a lot of amylopectin. After being heated and pasted and decomposed, the texture of the millet becomes sticky. This feature also allows the millet to play the role of coagulant. Add proper starch again. A jujube cake without any additives can be easily handled.
