Why should zongzi be put in water?

Soaking zongzi in cold water can immediately reduce the temperature, ensure that the water of zongzi will not dry up, and also block the air from being stored for a long time. It will be more hygienic if the cold water wrapped in zongzi is boiled.

To preserve zongzi, you can put it in the cold storage layer of the refrigerator and heat it when eating. Because glutinous rice is not good for the stomach and there are many bacteria in the refrigerator, it is recommended to heat it. If the amount is too much, cook the zongzi, let it cool and pack it separately. If you can eat a few at a time, put them in plastic fresh-keeping bags and then put them in the freezer to heat them until they are cooked.
