1, Babao rice has eight ingredients: glutinous rice, red bean paste, coix seed, peanuts, melon seeds, red dates, walnuts and raisins.

These red and green silk are generally pickled from radish, and some of them are made from orange peel. It should be noted that because of the high sugar content and sweet taste of red and green silk, we should also pay attention to the amount of red and green silk when making eight-treasure rice to avoid the taste of eight-treasure rice being too sweet.
