Because the local Qiongzhong area in Hainan produces a lot of this kind of leaves, the mainland produces less, so Danzhou Zongzi will only use fresh and green as raw materials, unlike many in mainland China, which are recycled.
polished glutinous rice
The glutinous rice used in Danzhou Zongzi is high-quality glutinous rice grown locally in Danzhou. Danzhou has a large number of China's only volcanic coast, a large number of volcanic landforms, and contains a large number of trace elements needed by the human body, especially selenium, a trace element with high nutritional value. The famous state banquet drink coconut tree mineral spring aquatic products come from deep volcanic rocks. Some high-quality volcanic rice on the market can even be sold to 50 yuan for more than a kilo. Some zongzi will also try to use black glutinous rice, which has been successfully planted locally. Previously, it was only cultivated in Sichuan, Guizhou and Yunnan, and it was a relatively precious rice variety. Black glutinous rice is known as "black pearl", and rice plants are rice with purple seed coat. Because of its waxy quality, it is also called blood glutinous rice. Black glutinous rice has high nutritional value. Besides protein, fat and carbohydrate, it is also rich in calcium, phosphorus, iron and vitamin B 1 and B2. Black glutinous rice has the effect of enriching blood and benefiting qi. Can be used for body building and soaking in wine. Eating black glutinous rice often also has the effect of tonifying kidney. Chinese medicine believes that "black gas enters the kidney and black nourishes the kidney." Cooking Lycium barbarum with black glutinous rice can cure dizziness, tinnitus and soreness of waist and knees caused by liver and kidney deficiency. Black glutinous rice can also make hair black and shiny, and cooking with mulberry and black sesame seeds is the best.
pork
The pork of Danzhou Zongzi is made of local pigs or black pigs. Danzhou native pigs have always been cultivated with original pig breeds, with uniform fat and thin meat quality. It is said that when Su Dongpo was demoted to Danzhou, he taught him to cook Dongpo pork with local pork, and he was full of praise for the local local pork, which explained the delicacy of Dongpo pork well. The best zongzi uses the front sandwich part, that is, the gluten-free part between the front foot and the front chest. Soft texture, fat and thin, can make zongzi permeated with meat flavor and taste tender and delicious pork. There is a saying that "eat meat first when eating sandwiches, and drink old wine first when drinking."
yolk
The egg yolk of Danzhou Zongzi adopts local unique sea duck eggs, commonly known as running sea ducks. Running sea duck is a brand registered by Danzhou government for local sea ducks. Because the local sea ducks grow in the mangroves by the sea, there are always many small fish, shrimps, crabs, snails and other marine life in the mangroves at low tide. These high-protein natural baits have become a delicious meal for sea ducks, making them fat and egg-shaped, and the yolk is crystal clear and delicious. Because there are a large number of coastal areas on the north shore, ducks often run around on their way home after eating, hence the name.
Salted duck eggs used for making zongzi are all preserved. After washing, only the essence of egg yolk is kept, and absolutely no egg white is left to spoil the delicious taste, so that glutinous rice can be eaten raw. Made by local special methods, the yolk is delicious and transparent, and oil will ooze out after cooking, which will produce a unique taste with the fragrance of glutinous rice and zongzi leaves. Coupled with the unique diet of ducks, egg yolk tastes like the ocean.
cut
Some zongzi with ribs have a unique taste. After a long time of cooking, the fragrance of zongzi is soaked in ribs, and the mellow flavor of ribs is also integrated into zongzi. When tasting, you must carefully taste the ribs, so as to realize the unique delicacy of the ribs mixed with various ingredients. At the same time, you can chew the bones carefully after cooking for a long time, and experience the sweetness of that fragrance through the juice entrance. This is definitely a delicious food that all zongzi in the country can't taste.

Red fish is added to some zongzi.
