What kind of wormwood is used to make wormwood cakes?

Ordinary fresh mugwort leaves have no special varieties and requirements.

Artemisia argyi is very good food. In the traditional food in the south of China, there is a kind of Ciba (see Ai Ai) made of mugwort leaves as the main raw material. That is, before and after Tomb-Sweeping Day, fresh and tender Artemisia argyi leaves and glutinous rice flour are mixed in a ratio of one to two, wrapped with peanuts, sesame seeds, sugar and other fillings (mung bean paste will be added in some areas), and then steamed. In the Dongjiang Valley of Guangdong Province, local people pick fresh leaves and buds of wormwood as vegetables in winter and spring.

Every year in early spring, Hakka people in Ganzhou have the custom of collecting mugwort leaves to make mugwort. Aimeiguo's shape is similar to that of jiaozi, but it is bigger with stuffing, so it is delicious and can be used as a staple food.
