Eating glutinous rice balls and enjoying the moon on the Lantern Festival

"The sky is full, and Wan Li is bright on earth".

Today is the fifteenth day of the first month, the first full moon night in the new year. According to the folk tradition in China, on a bright night, people enjoy the moon, light lanterns, eat Yuanxiao and eat glutinous rice balls ...

Yuanxiao and glutinous rice balls, one of the "protagonists" on the 15th day of the first month, are round and round, soft and sweet, placing people's good expectations and giving taste buds delicious enjoyment.

Tangyuan and Yuanxiao are different. Tangyuan is made by first having a skin and then "wrapping" the stuffing inside, and Yuanxiao is made by first having a solid stuffing and then "rolling" like a snowball. The white part outside is basically glutinous rice flour, so the difference in nutrition and calories between them mainly depends on the difference in stuffing.

The stuffing of glutinous rice balls is almost omnipotent, ranging from five-kernel nuts to miscellaneous grains with bean paste, from fruits and flowers to cheese and chocolate, and even can be wrapped with all kinds of meat stuffing like jiaozi. The stuffing of Yuanxiao is relatively simple, traditionally it is basically sweet, but it has gradually incorporated some new flavors, but the whole is not as rich as glutinous rice balls.

it's valuable to calm down and enjoy the moon.
