What's the difference between glutinous rice balls and Yuanxiao? Be specific. Thank you for your questions.

The making techniques of Yuanxiao and Tangyuan are different. Yuanxiao is "shaken" and glutinous rice balls are "wrapped". From the taste point of view, Yuanxiao is more biting and has a prominent glutinous rice flour flavor; Tangyuan is tender, smooth and soft, and the taste of glutinous rice is not obvious. Many brands sell jiaozi, and Yuanxiao generally appears in the north, and most of them are sold in bulk. You can carefully observe the label on the package when buying.

Osmanthus fragrans, hawthorn and butter cocoa are more popular among young people. Tangyuan's yellow rice with calcium milk, yellow rice with red dates and longan, yellow rice with brown sugar and walnut stuffing are all new flavors this year.

According to the data of JD.COM, post-90s prefer fruit stuffing, mixed flavor and fresh meat stuffing, post-80s prefer mixed flavor, fruit stuffing and peanut stuffing, post-70s like bean paste, black sesame stuffing and peanut stuffing, and post-60s like bean paste, fresh meat stuffing and black sesame stuffing.
