Grey zongzi is not deliberately so for the sake of "being unconventional". On the contrary, this gray appearance is its magic. Zongzi looks like a dusty face, but this gray color comes from a natural edible plant, which is made by burning glutinous rice into ashes and mixing it. It not only makes zongzi have a unique flavor, but also promotes and improves digestion. The gray jiaozi of seedling ash is mostly salty, such as pork jiaozi, ribs jiaozi, bacon jiaozi and sausage jiaozi. But in fact, the taste of grey zongzi has not changed much, and it is made of ecological plant raw materials and processed animals and plants.

Most of the rice dumplings are salty, such as pork dumplings, ribs dumplings, bacon dumplings and sausage dumplings.

To make grey zongzi, it is necessary to burn the glutinous rice straw into ash, sieve it to leave fine powder, mix it with glutinous rice, add bacon, pickled pork belly, chestnut, peanuts, mung beans and other miscellaneous grains and other seasonings, mix well, wrap it in a pillow or cone shape with zongzi leaves, and cook for about 7 hours. Plant ash is a kind of plant alkali, which not only increases the layering of glutinous food, but also makes zongzi easier to digest. Compared with ordinary zongzi, the special seedling ash is added to the grey zongzi, which makes the taste of zongzi more fragrant and tender. Whether it is meat dumplings or non-meat dumplings such as chestnuts, they will not find it difficult to swallow.

The special plant ash is added to the zongzi, which makes the taste of the zongzi more fragrant, while the taste is more gentle and delicate. Whether it's jiaozi with meat or jiaozi without meat like chestnuts, you won't find it hard to swallow.

After a long time of cooking, the pork belly wrapped in glutinous rice and the fat and thin bacon are completely integrated into the glutinous rice, making the glutinous rice more moist. The taste of zongzi leaves and glutinous rice grass is simply mixed together, which tastes very delicate and has a clear fragrance. Dear friends, there is a special kind of zongzi in Guizhou called "Grey Zongzi", which tastes delicious.
