Because jiaozi symbolizes a better family reunion, eating jiaozi in the new year means family happiness and reunion, so jiaozi is necessary on the 15th day of the first month. The shape of glutinous rice balls is round and full, symbolizing reunion and happiness. Ancestors believe that eating such food during the Lantern Festival can also bring harmony and peace to families.

Yuanxiao was originally called "Tangyuan" because it floats on the water after boiling, which is beautiful and reminds people of a bright moon hanging on the clouds. There is a bright moon in the sky, jiaozi in the bowl, and every family is round and round, symbolizing reunion and good luck. Therefore, eating Yuanxiao expresses people's love for family reunion.

Nutritional value of glutinous rice balls;

Tangyuan is sweet, and there is no need to add sugar to the soup to reduce calorie intake; If it is a small dumpling without stuffing, the soup can be replaced by osmanthus, liqueur, scented tea, longan red date soup and longan ginger soup, which can play a role in tonifying the body and dispelling cold; When making salty dumplings, you can add some vegetables to increase the cellulose.

I can't help but want to take a big bite in the face of the hot and fragrant jiaozi. All ages should pay special attention. Remember to eat jiaozi slowly so as not to choke my throat or trachea. Because glutinous rice balls contain a lot of "sugar" and sesame seeds, and fresh meat and peanuts contain "high fat" and "high calories", you must eat them in small quantities, not too much at once.
