【Guangdong】Black glutinous rice dumplings

Overview

Tangyuan means reunion and perfection in our minds. During the annual traditional Lantern Festival, in addition to guessing lantern riddles and admiring the lanterns, the most important thing is that the whole family, young and old, eat a bowl of warm glutinous rice balls together. This lightly sweet dumpling is cooked with black glutinous rice. Black glutinous rice is regarded as a tonic among the people because it is not only rich in nutrients, but also known as longevity rice, blood-tonifying rice and black pearls. Modern medicine says that black glutinous rice is very nutritious. It is rich in protein, fat and carbohydrates, as well as vitamins B1, B2 and minerals such as calcium, phosphorus and magnesium.
