Hainan zongzi is different from mainland zongzi. Generally, Hainan zongzi is square cone-shaped and weighs about half a kilogram. Rice is pure white glutinous rice. The fillings are mostly diced pig's trotters, fresh and thin fat, salted egg yolk, shrimp, barbecued ham, braised chicken wings, wine, shrimp skin, salt, soy sauce, ginger juice, garlic, spiced powder, mushrooms and hooks. When the hot jiaozi is peeled off, it smells of bananas and glutinous rice first, then meat and eggs. The fragrance is rich and light, and the taste and meat quality are ready-made, which makes the eater's appetite wide open, and the food is not greasy and memorable.
It is said that at present, Zongzi in Hainan is not only popular on the island, but also a good gift for relatives and friends. Different practices and flavors are also deeply loved by northerners and even exported to Southeast Asia.
