Generally, the leaves are used. The plant only has leaves and a diameter as thick as a child's finger. Generally, the area of ??the leaves can reach nearly the area of ??A4 paper and the length can reach 30- 60cm.
In addition, there are some places where reed leaves are used, but they cannot be used to make large rice dumplings. The area is small and the taste is strong, which will affect the taste of the rice dumplings.
My place is relatively close to Nanning, and the zongzi leaves used here in Guigang are the same as those used in Wuming.
