It is best to save oily foods such as braised pork, pastries, and fried foods for another day. 《2》Rationally choose the fillings for glutinous rice balls: avoid high-fat ones <br /> There are also some good things in the fillings, namely sesame, peanuts and various nuts, as well as red bean paste. Nuts are high in nutritional value, and bean paste also contains a lot of protein and minerals. Chocolate filling has the lowest nutritional value. It is very likely that cocoa butter substitutes and chocolate flavorings are added to them. The so-called cream-filled dumplings also have similar problems. As for the glutinous rice balls stuffed with bacon, they are fattier and have little to recommend them. ——Give priority to glutinous rice balls with fillings such as nuts, sesame seeds, and red bean paste. What is the meaning of eating noodles?》Eating noodles on the Lantern Festival: joy, continuous, and praying for good luck (1) In the Jiangbei area, there is a folk saying that goes "Light up the Lantern Festival, eat noodles when the lanterns are down, and after eating, look forward to the next year." The locals eat noodles on the fifteenth night of the first lunar month, which may sound unrelated to the Lantern Festival, but it also means praying for good luck.(2) The Yihui Sui Shi Ji states: “On the 18th day of the first lunar month, lanterns are lit and people eat noodles, which is commonly known as ‘lighting up lanterns with dumplings and lighting up lanterns with noodles’. Each family holds a banquet to celebrate.” 》Eating Yuanxiao during the Lantern Festival: Good luck and reunion <br /> Yuanxiao, also known as Tangyuan, Shuotuan, Yuanzi, etc., has a long history in China. Yuanxiao, also known as "tangyuan", is filled with sugar, rose, sesame, bean paste, osmanthus, walnut kernels, nuts, jujube paste, etc. It is wrapped in glutinous rice flour into a round shape. It can be meat or vegetarian, with different flavors. It is a must to eat Yuanxiao during the Lantern Festival, as it represents the auspicious meaning of "round like the moon". |
