Zongzi leaves are reed leaves, and reed leaves are mostly used to make zongzi in northern areas. The reed leaves are fresh and the rice dumplings made are more fragrant, but the reed leaves are very narrow, so it is more difficult to wrap them, so it is not suitable for novices. However, the leaves of rice dumplings are not always made of reed leaves. Ruo leaves are also used, but they are only found in the south. Its leaves are wider, making it easier and less troublesome to make rice dumplings.
