Severe burns reported in children making TikTok-trendy ‘glass fruit’ in microwave
Fox News
"Glass fruit," otherwise known as Tanghulu, has become a growing food trend on social media, but children are getting burned on the hot sugar. Doctors warn parents of the dangers.
Making Tanghulu requires microwaving a sugar and water mixture at 30-second intervals for about five minutes until it’s boiling, according to TikToker Jasmine and Tea, who posted a tutorial in April. "Parents should make sure their children have learned proper cooking safety and take preventive measures." Angelica Stabile is a lifestyle reporter for Fox News Digital.
The food-focused content creator warned in the video, which now has nearly 20 million views, that the mixture will get "really hot" and that people should not touch it with bare hands.
