What does Yunnan Zongzi mean?

Zongzi in Yunnan is a traditional folk food, usually made of glutinous rice, meat, bean paste and other ingredients. This kind of food is very common in every corner of Yunnan, because the cooking methods and tastes in different places are slightly different, so it has rich and varied tastes and cultural connotations. In some special festivals or celebrations, people will also give zongzi to each other, which means affection, friendship, love and unity.

Yunnan Zongzi has a long history, which is closely related to local environment, culture and solar terms. In Yunnan, Zongzi is not only a delicacy, but also represents the hospitality and traditional culture of the local people. For example, in some places, there is a custom of hanging zongzi at the door or under the eaves to welcome friends and relatives far away, or to worship and pray for ancestors. In addition, on the Dragon Boat Festival, an important traditional festival, people will make zongzi, row dragon boats and race dragon boats to commemorate the life and thoughts of the patriotic poet Qu Yuan.

Yunnan Zongzi is not only nutritious, but also has a unique taste. Because the materials used are all organic and natural ingredients and handmade, there is no additive, so the taste is very delicious. In particular, Yi salty dumplings and overseas Chinese sweet dumplings with exotic flavor have unique tastes. In addition, Zongzi also has certain health care value. Glutinous rice contains high protein and sugar, which can provide energy for human body. At the same time, it is also rich in minerals such as vitamin B 1, potassium and magnesium, which helps to strengthen physical strength and improve health.
