One kilogram of zongzi leaves can cover five kilograms of rice. According to the size of zongzi leaves, there are 35 big ones and 40 small ones, each with a rope.

4-5 Jin of rice depends on the size of your jiaozi.

Zongzi leaves include reed leaves and bamboo leaves. Most of them are dry because they are easy to store. It's hard to say whether it's fresh or not. If you pick it directly, no problem.

How many zongzi can be wrapped in a catty of zongzi leaves?

Fill it with a loaf of bread with smooth leaves, because the other side is very astringent, and it is not easy to peel zongzi when the bag falls down. Fold 2/5 zongzi leaves into a funnel shape, and add glutinous rice, candied dates, peanuts, etc. Be careful not to fill them up. Then use the remaining zongzi leaves to seal the package and wrap it tightly with thin thread.

3. Look at the water for cooking zongzi. The water turns green after the "green leaves" are cooked, and turns pale yellow after the normal leaves are cooked.

However, Bian Xiao also reminds everyone that the two methods of "seeing" and "smelling" are not very accurate, because sometimes the color and smell are not so obvious, and "cooking" is a very effective method. You can also exclude' green leaf' through brand logo and QS logo. "
