The amount of glutinous rice put into each zongzi is about 25-50g. If a single zongzi is big, 50g glutinous rice is generally needed. If a single zongzi is small and generally needs 25g glutinous rice, then 5 kg glutinous rice can make 50- 100 zongzi.

There are many kinds of zongzi. Judging from the stuffing, there are Beijing jujube zongzi wrapped in dates in the north. In the south, there are many kinds of fillings, such as mung bean, pork belly, red bean paste, eight treasures, ham, mushrooms, egg yolk and so on. Among them, Guangdong bacon zongzi and Zhejiang Jiaxing zongzi are the representatives. 20 12 zongzi was selected as one of the second series of food in the documentary "China on the tip of the tongue-the story of staple food".
