There is a tradition of eating wild vegetables during the Grain Full season, usually bitter vegetables. On this day, people have the custom of eating wild vegetables and bitter herbs to clear away heat and detoxify. People in Ningxia like to blanch the bitter herbs, eat them cold and mix them with salt, vinegar, chili oil or mashed garlic. They are cool, spicy and fragrant, and can be eaten with steamed buns or rice, which greatly increases people's appetite.
2. Wheat cakes
It has been said since ancient times that Grain Full is the birthday of the Silkworm God. Because silkworms are raised more frequently in the south, and Grain Full is an important time point for the hatching of young silkworms and the growth of mulberry leaves, people therefore attach relatively more importance to "worshiping the Silkworm God". At this time, people would use rice flour or wheat flour as raw materials to make wheat cakes and biscuits in the shape of silkworm cocoons and enjoy them together, hoping for a good harvest of silkworm cocoons.
