What does Qingming eat?

What traditional food does Tomb-Sweeping Day want to eat?

1, Green jiaozi

Youth League is the most representative food in Tomb-Sweeping Day. Green and oily, waxy and soft, not sweet or greasy, with a faint but long grass fragrance, which is more fragrant and slippery when eaten in the mouth. This custom can be traced back to more than 2000 years ago. Because there is no fire during the Cold Food Festival, people will prepare many cakes in advance to satisfy their hunger. Green meatballs are filled with green wormwood and glutinous rice flour and then with bean paste, which can be preserved for 3~5 days, meeting the needs of people for sacrifice and eating without cooking. Up to now, the function of the Youth League as a sacrifice has gradually weakened, and more is to bring people an early adopter experience.

2, prickly heat (sm \u n)

Eating prickly heat is a traditional custom in Tomb-Sweeping Day. Fried dumpling is a kind of fried pasta, with rice flour as the main ingredient, kneaded into thin strips and fried. Different shapes, or spiral, or grid-like, yellow and bright, crispy to eat, the more you chew, the more fragrant. Because the cold food festival banned fire, seeds were prepared in many places at that time, so that there was something to eat when the fire was banned. The cost of sowing is relatively low, and it is easy to store. The taste is crisp and deeply loved by the people, so it has been passed down to this day.
