Lantern Festival is a reunion festival. The north has the habit of eating Yuanxiao, while the south has the habit of eating glutinous rice balls.

No matter whether it is Yuanxiao or Tangyuan, the main raw materials are the same, and the outer skin is mainly made of glutinous rice, which is also a kind of traditional Chinese medicine with the same origin of medicine and food. The medical book Bielu records that glutinous rice is warm, which makes people feel hot and has firm stools. That is, glutinous rice is not easy to digest and the stool is hard.

In addition to being difficult to digest, glutinous rice is characterized by high viscosity. There is a big difference between glutinous rice and the rice we usually eat. The rice we eat is mainly amylose, which is not too sticky, while the glutinous rice is mainly composed of amylopectin, which is also called gum starch, which is relatively sticky.

If the glutinous rice dumplings are only made of glutinous rice, they are generally tasteless. Generally, peanuts, sesame seeds, or red bean paste or fragrant or sweet fillings are added into the dumplings, which will make them taste good. Peanuts and sesame seeds are high in fat and have the risk of allergies. If they are not broken, they will also have the risk of blocking the trachea, while bean paste is high in sugar and calories.
