Avoid eating before it is cooked

When wrapping zongzi, we should not make it too big, otherwise it will be difficult to cook it. Zongzi must be fully cooked before eating, otherwise it will be harmful to your health.

Avoid eating large amounts of food

Zongzi is made of glutinous rice, which is difficult to digest, so people who have or have had gastrointestinal diseases should not eat too much of it. In addition, children and the elderly have poor digestive functions, so they should be restrained when eating rice dumplings, and should try to eat them while hot to avoid making them more difficult to digest after they cool down.

It is not advisable to eat zongzi on an empty stomach

If you eat rice dumplings on an empty stomach, the glutinous rice will stay in the stomach for a long time and stimulate the secretion of gastric acid, causing recurrence of chronic gastritis and esophagitis in patients.

Don’t eat zongzi that is too cold or too hard

It is not advisable to eat rice dumplings just taken out of the refrigerator! Some people like to put rice dumplings in the refrigerator for a while before eating them. However, such rice dumplings are hard and cold, which is undoubtedly worse for people with stomach problems. Therefore, for frozen rice dumplings, it is best to heat them thoroughly and soften them before eating.

Avoid storing for too long

It is best to eat the wrapped rice dumplings as soon as possible. They should not be stored for too long, only 3-4 days at most, and need to be reheated when eaten. In addition, the place where rice dumplings are stored should always be kept clean.

Don’t drink cold drinks when eating zongzi

It is not advisable to drink cold drinks when eating rice dumplings. Because cold drinks can easily cause glutinous rice to solidify, which is more difficult to digest and will make people feel bloated.

Don't eat zongzi before going to bed

It’s best not to eat rice dumplings two hours before going to bed. Zongzi is highly sticky, difficult to digest, lacks fiber, and contains too much fat, salt, and sugar, so it is best not to eat it two hours before going to bed.
