Things to note when purchasing Lantern Festival:

1. First look at the color and shape. A good Lantern Festival is white in color, without any spots, and round in shape. Inferior quality Yuanxiao is dull and uneven in color and irregular in shape. Let’s see if there are any cracks in the Lantern Festival. If the freezing technology is not up to standard, the dumplings will easily crack. Such dumplings will lose a lot of water and nutrients and taste rough.

2. Touch the Yuanxiao gently with your fingers. If the Yuanxiao becomes soft, it means it has been thawed, and the taste and nutrition of the Yuanxiao will be greatly reduced.

3. Test cooking. When cooking Yuanxiao, the soup will not mix or stick to each other, and it will float quickly. The poor quality Yuanxiao is easy to mix with the soup and stick to the pot or even get damaged.
