Stupid can't tell, are Yuanxiao and Tangyuan a kind of food?

Yuanxiao and Tangyuan are different names for the same food.

Tangyuan, also known as Yuanxiao, Tangtuan and Piao Zi Yuan, is one of the representatives of traditional snacks in China, and it is a spherical food made of glutinous rice flour. There are usually fillings, which are cooked and eaten with soup. At the same time, it is also the most distinctive food of the Lantern Festival with a long history.

Tangyuan originated in the Song Dynasty. At that time, Mingzhou (now Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province) began to eat a novel food, which was filled with black sesame seeds and lard, added with a little sugar, and wrapped in glutinous rice flour. After cooking, it tastes sweet, delicious and interesting. Because this kind of dumpling is floating and heavy when cooked in a pot, it was originally called "floating Zi Yuan", and was later renamed as dumpling in some areas.

Extended data

You must see the package, manufacturer, date and logo clearly when buying Yuanxiao. See if the packaging is damaged or leaking, and whether there is a problem of counterfeiting famous brands; See if the name, address, postcode and telephone number of the manufacturer on the food packaging and label are complete and detailed.

See if the food is marked with production date and shelf life; Whether there are qualification approval numbers such as hygiene approval number, production approval number and food label approval number; Whether there are product implementation standards and "QS" signs, etc. In addition, there should be a tray in the packaging bag with good quality to prevent Yuanxiao from being squeezed and deformed during transportation.

Then look at the appearance of Yuanxiao. Look at the color and shape first. A good Lantern Festival is white in color, without miscellaneous points and round in shape. The inferior Yuanxiao is dim and uneven in color and irregular in shape. Let's see if there are any cracks in the Lantern Festival. If the freezing technology doesn't pass, Yuanxiao will crack easily, so the water and nutrition of Yuanxiao will be lost a lot and the taste will be rough.
