The season of eating green dumplings

Green dumplings are a traditional glutinous rice food in China, which is usually eaten around Tomb-Sweeping Day. The raw materials for making green balls are mainly glutinous rice flour and mung bean stuffing, which are spherical in shape, delicate and soft in skin, and sweet and delicious in stuffing. Youth League has a long history, which originated from the food made by ancient farmers when they sacrificed their ancestors in Tomb-Sweeping Day. With the passage of time, Youth League has gradually become one of the traditional delicacies in southern China, and has gradually spread to all parts of the country.

The Youth League is not only delicious, but also meaningful. In the traditional culture of China, youth represents life, hope and rebirth, while Tomb-Sweeping Day is an important festival to worship ancestors and sweep graves. Therefore, eating Youth League is also regarded as a way to commemorate ancestors and express the feelings of missing their loved ones.
