Is the Southern Tangyuan sweet or salty?

Jiaozi in the south is salty.

In terms of taste, Yuanxiao in the north is mainly sweet, while Tangyuan in the south is mainly salty. Tangyuan has a variety of fillings, except the traditional five kernels, red bean paste, fruit, coarse grains and fresh meat. The stuffing of Yuanxiao is relatively simple, with black sesame seeds, red bean paste and other sweet stuffing in the majority. However, this does not affect people's love for glutinous rice balls. After all, everyone has his own taste.

The moral of glutinous rice balls:

In fact, the main moral of eating glutinous rice balls is reunion. Because jiaozi is round, with all kinds of sweet stuffing, such as sesame stuffing, bean paste stuffing and peanut stuffing, which are classic and sweet, I hope the whole family will be round after eating, and the whole family will be happy and sweet.

Therefore, we usually have the habit of eating jiaozi on some festivals or family gatherings, especially on the Lantern Festival. A bowl of hot jiaozi, sweet, feels like a better blessing.
