It can be eaten.

In the north, it is customary to eat dumplings on New Year's Day, while in the south, it is customary to eat glutinous rice balls. New Year's Day is January 1 of the Gregorian calendar, and is originally called "Yuan"; Dan means "Day"; "New Year's Day" means "the initial day". New Year's Day is also called "New Year". During this short New Year's Day holiday , everyone can go home more often to reunite with their families when they have time, and have a "reunion dinner" as a family, so on New Year's Day, the older generations will prepare a bowl of hot glutinous rice balls for the younger ones to eat, which means reunion and sweetness. .
