1. Wheat cakes
Legend has it that Grain Full is the birthday of the Silkworm God. Silkworm breeding has been more prevalent in the south since ancient times, and Grain Full is an important time when young silkworms hatch and mulberry leaves grow. Therefore, in the south, there is a festival to "worship the Silkworm God" during Grain Full. When offering sacrifice to the silkworm god, people eat wheat cakes and biscuits made from rice flour or wheat flour that are shaped like silkworm cocoons, hoping for a good harvest of silkworm cocoons.
2. Wild vegetables and bitter herbs
The Grain Full season is when all kinds of wild vegetables are on the market (especially bitter vegetables), so there is a folk custom of eating wild vegetables and bitter vegetables during the Grain Full season. Dandelion has the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying. It can be blanched and then served cold, and then eaten with salt, vinegar, chili oil or mashed garlic. It tastes cool and spicy, and it increases appetite when paired with staple foods.
