Zongzi preserved at room temperature can be eaten immediately, or unpacked and put into a container, and then heated in a microwave oven 1 min. Unpack the frozen zongzi, thaw for 2-3 minutes, then add some water and stew for 3-4 minutes.

If zongzi is made of raw glutinous rice, it can't be heated in the microwave oven. It is best to cook in a pressure cooker for more than 1 hour before eating. In addition, the packaging bag and the zongzi must not be heated together, otherwise the plastic packaging bag may emit harmful gas after high temperature and pollute the zongzi in the packaging bag.

Matters needing attention in eating zongzi

Diabetic people can't eat zongzi. Zongzi often contains red dates and red bean paste with high sugar content, which are usually mixed with sugar. If it is not controlled, it will damage the function of islet and make the blood sugar and urine sugar of patients rise rapidly, so diabetic patients can't eat zongzi.

Zongzi stored for a long time is not edible. Self-made zongzi has not been vacuum-treated, and its shelf life is extremely short. If the storage time is too long, it will easily lead to deterioration of zongzi, and if it is eaten carelessly, it will also lead to diseases such as food poisoning, so the storage time of zongzi should generally not exceed 4 days.
