When using dried zongzi leaves, if you want to sterilize them, it is better to cook them. If you just want the dried zongzi leaves to soften, it is better to wrap zongzi, then you need to soak them in cold water overnight to make them absorb enough water and become softer.
Soak the dried zongzi leaves for a few days because they absorb too much water, and the leaves will be broken, so they should be fished out in time.

What leaves are zongzi leaves?
Yuan Tingdong, a folklore expert, explained that there is no hard and fast rule as to what kind of leaves to use. "In the past, everyone pulled leaves and wrapped zongzi near the yard, without saying what kind of leaves were needed in a particular area." Yuan Tingdong said that bamboo leaves, lotus leaves and banana leaves can all make zongzi.
"Most of the leaves on the market in the south are bamboo leaves. Indocalamus is a genus, and the Yibin Bambusa leaf mentioned by merchants is actually its subordinate Bambusa Bambusa. Hubei Zongye' is also a kind of bamboo. "
Wang Daoyun, deputy director of wangjiang tower park, explained, "Indocalamus is a positive bamboo, which likes warm and humid climate and can grow well in the south of the Yangtze River basin, including some areas in Hubei and Sichuan." Wang Daoyun mentioned that it is precisely because of the climate that Indocalamus can't grow in large areas in the north of the Yangtze River basin, so the north uses reed leaves instead of Indocalamus leaves to wrap zongzi.
