Taboos on eating Yuanxiao:
1. Tangyuan is best eaten hot. It is more difficult to digest when cold. Eat glutinous rice balls more slowly and chew them carefully to avoid stomach upset.
2. The glutinous rice flour in Yuanxiao raises blood sugar very quickly, almost the same as white sugar. Even if there is no added sugar, eating it is not conducive to controlling blood sugar, so diabetic patients should be very careful. If you are worried about the sugar and oil in it, just eat less.
