Don't eat zongzi if it doesn't taste good. Zongzi should have the fragrance of zongzi leaves, glutinous rice and other cereal foods, and should not have sour taste, mildew, rancidity and other odors. Pay attention to buying in small quantities, or buying now, so as to avoid the deterioration of zongzi and affect health.

Vacuum package quick-frozen zongzi, pay attention to the preservation method shown on the label after purchase, and process and eat according to the eating method indicated on the label. For dumplings that haven't been eaten for a while, be sure to put them in the refrigerator in time, and don't leave them outside for a long time. Once you find moldy or smelly, don't eat any more.

Matters needing attention in eating zongzi

It is healthier to eat hot zongzi in new packaging. Don't heat it repeatedly after cooling. So it's best to make it by hand and eat hot zongzi just wrapped. It should be noted that it is normal for the leaves of zongzi to darken after steaming for a period of time. Do not choose rice dumplings with bright green or even blue-green skin, because the leaves of rice dumplings are probably treated with copper sulfate, and the safety is not guaranteed.

In terms of preservation, zongzi can be stored in the freezer for a long time after quick freezing, steamed again when eating, or thawed in the microwave oven. When storing, it is best to divide it into disposable small bags, wrap them tightly in plastic bags and separate them from other raw foods such as meat to avoid cross-contamination.
