After unpacking, heat the zongzi thoroughly, and then remove the binding thread and leaves of zongzi. 3. The correct way to eat Zongzi: (1), Zongzi is not easy to digest, so you should pay attention to the right amount when eating Zongzi, and don't eat a lot at once. (2) For special people such as diabetes, appropriate varieties can be selected according to their physical conditions.

The judgment method is to press the zongzi with chopsticks, thinking that the zongzi is soft, that is, it is cooked and ready to eat. 2.

(4) How to eat zongzi: Carefully peel off the steamed zongzi, untie the rope, and spread the leaves of zongzi. Pay attention to one word when eating zongzi leaves. You must taste it first and smell its fragrance, such as leaves, glutinous rice or chestnuts, lean meat, egg yolk and so on. And the aroma is rich and thrilling. I really enjoy it, and the beauty of life is nothing more than that.

FAQ on Zongzi (1) Is the vacuum-packed Zongzi sold in the market raw or cooked? Answer: The vacuum-packed zongzi, whether sold in supermarkets or on the street, are cooked. Please imagine, if the materials in zongzi are not cooked, will it become a rice ball?

No matter whether it is a big factory or a small factory, a well-known or unknown manufacturer, jiaozi packaged in vacuum bags enters the vacuum packaging stage after cooking, spreading and cooling. But when you get home, you still have to boil it before eating it, just like reheating it after putting it in the refrigerator. You'd better eat cooked zongzi when you come back, because it may go bad easily if you cook it for the third time. (2) It is said that eating zongzi can relieve summer heat. Is it true?/You don't say. In traditional Chinese medicine, zongzi leaves and lotus leaves wrapped in zongzi are both good medicines for clearing away heat and relieving summer heat. Even our common glutinous rice has the effects of benefiting qi, promoting fluid production and clearing away heat in Chinese medicine. Chinese medicine believes that after the Dragon Boat Festival, it enters the hottest month in summer. Because of the unbearable heat, people generally get angry and suffer from heatstroke. Eating zongzi often at this time is really a good "medicine" for relieving summer heat.

Although there are many kinds of zongzi stuffing in the market, from the health point of view of traditional Chinese medicine diet therapy, jujube is sweet and warm, and has the effects of tonifying the middle warmer, invigorating qi, nourishing blood and calming the nerves, while chestnut has the effects of invigorating qi, strengthening spleen and tonifying kidney. Therefore, choosing Chinese dates and chestnuts as stuffing zongzi can be regarded as the "best" in zongzi. (3) How to buy zongzi 1? You should buy zongzi with factory name, address and production date. 2. If you buy vacuum-packed zongzi, check for air leakage or inflation. If there is air leakage or inflation, do not buy it. 3. Observe the shape of zongzi. The angle of the zongzi is correct, the binding line is elastic, there is no obvious exposed angle, and the zongzi body is not exposed. Stripping the leaves, the zongzi has the right color. No impurities, inclusions, mildew, moth and other foreign pollutants. 4. If you think it tastes wrong, don't eat it. Zongzi should have the fragrance of zongzi leaves, glutinous rice and other cereal foods, and there should be no rancid, moldy, rancid and other odors. (4) Identification of Zongzi Pay attention to "turning green leaves" when purchasing Zongzi. When buying zongzi, don't covet bright green. Although the color of traditional air-dried zongzi leaves is old and dim, it is more natural and safe. When shopping, first, look at the appearance. The "green-returning zongye" looks beautiful, while the normal zongye will be dark yellow after high-temperature cooking in the production process. Second, smell is very important. After cooking, jiaozi wrapped in "turning green leaves" is not fragrant, but has a faint sulfur smell; Third, you can look at the water for cooking zongzi. The water turns green after the "green leaves" are cooked, and turns pale yellow after the normal leaves are cooked. (5) Is eating too many zongzi harmful to your health? Everything is too much, even eating zongzi. Eating zongzi is very particular, which is closely related to daily health. In traditional Chinese medicine, rice dumplings wrapped in leaves and lotus leaves are both good medicines for clearing away heat and relieving summer heat. Even our common glutinous rice has the effects of invigorating qi, promoting fluid production and clearing away heat in Chinese medicine. Chinese medicine believes that after the Dragon Boat Festival, it enters the hottest month in summer. Because of the unbearable heat, people generally get angry and suffer from heatstroke. Eating zongzi often at this time is really a good "medicine" for relieving summer heat.

Although there are many kinds of zongzi stuffing in the market, Professor Chang still gives you advice from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine diet therapy: because jujube is sweet and warm, it has the effects of tonifying the middle warmer, nourishing blood and calming the nerves, and chestnut has the effects of invigorating qi, strengthening the spleen and benefiting the kidney, so it can be regarded as the "best" in zongzi.

Although zongzi is a fresh product in festivals, improper eating can also hurt people. Professor Chang said that rice dumplings with glutinous rice as the main component are not suitable for digestion, and overeating will cause bloating and diarrhea due to injury to the spleen and stomach. Therefore, the elderly, children and people with poor digestive function should not be greedy. Even people with strong spleen and stomach function should follow the principle of "eat less and eat more". If you pack zongzi at home during the holiday, you should grasp the principle of "eat it now", and the frozen zongzi bought from the supermarket should be cooked before eating.

In addition, during the Dragon Boat Festival, there is a custom of drinking realgar wine to kill abdominal worms in many places, but Professor Chang believes that the custom of drinking realgar wine should be abandoned! Realgar can kill insects, eliminate dampness and relieve itching, but it is very toxic. Taking 0.3 grams a day can cause poisoning, such as vomiting, nausea, abdominal pain, constipation, secondary laryngitis and headache, which can seriously damage the heart, liver, kidneys and intestines. (6) What is "Zongzi disease"? Zongzi is a traditional food, but also a high-fat and high-calorie food. Patients with diabetes, kidney disease, hyperlipidemia and hypertension tend to be cautious about eating zongzi because of their own conditions, so eating zongzi makes their condition more and more serious. Some young people, or people who are usually physically strong, are too confident in their own physique and neglect the prevention of diseases. Like the elderly and children, they will also suffer from "Zongzi disease" after the festival. The following three situations are the most common:

1. Expired: Many people began to buy zongzi before the Dragon Boat Festival, because they couldn't stand the temptation of delicious zongzi, so they couldn't show much interest in zongzi in a short time after the festival. However, in the traditional customs of China, in order to show the richness of festivals, a large number of zongzi exceeding consumption are often prepared and stored. Although these zongzi are stored in the refrigerator, bacteria will still breed because they are not eaten in time. In particular, some rice dumplings that can't be eaten after repeated heating from the freezer will cause more and more bacteria to cause gastrointestinal diseases. There are also some old people who like to eat glutinous rice dumplings that are peeled and sticky, and think that the glutinous rice used to make this kind of dumplings is better. In fact, when there is silk sticking between zongzi and zongzi, it proves that zongzi has begun to deteriorate, so it is best not to eat it again.

2. Overdose: Among all kinds of zongzi, zongzi with bean paste and some egg yolk and sugar as fillings is the most prone to spoilage. The zongzi stored in the festival can't be eaten for a while, so it's a pity to throw it away. Some families eat it as a staple food or instead of rice. The glutinous rice made of zongzi is sweet and flat, and a small amount of it can strengthen the spleen, promote fluid production and benefit qi. However, the texture of glutinous rice is sticky. Long-term intake of glutinous rice will prolong the emptying time, increase the burden of gastrointestinal tract, cause digestive and absorption disorders, and produce symptoms such as nausea, burping, abdominal distension and diarrhea. Moreover, eating zongzi with high calorie and high sugar every day will make the body gain weight quickly, or cause diabetes, hyperlipidemia and other diseases.

3. Expiration: It takes a long time for stuffing and glutinous rice to be completely digested in the gastrointestinal tract. If you eat it when the sympathetic nerve is not excited and the gastrointestinal peristalsis is slow, it will increase the stimulation to the gastric mucosa, so that gastric acid will be secreted in large quantities, causing chronic gastritis and gastric ulcer. After getting up in the morning and before going to bed at night, gastrointestinal peristalsis is much slower than during the day, so it is not appropriate to take leftover zongzi as breakfast or supper. In particular, unheated leftover zongzi taken out of the refrigerator is not edible at this time. Now, hospitals will accept critical cases of suffocation caused by eating glutinous rice food at inappropriate time, which are more common in the elderly and children.

Therefore, I remind you to be careful with the leftover zongzi after the festival. When eating, you can add some fruits and vegetables to increase the intake of dietary fiber. If you eat jiaozi with minced meat, you can also add some hawthorn slices to help digestion. (7) Can pregnant women eat zongzi? Yes, it is not only harmless to the body, but also beneficial. Zongzi is mainly made of glutinous rice. Glutinous rice, also called glutinous rice, is a kind of rice, which is often used to make zongzi or porridge. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that it is sweet in taste and warm in nature, which can nourish the healthy qi of human body. After eating, it will cause fever all over the body and play a role in keeping out the cold and nourishing. Best for winter.

The main function of glutinous rice is to warm the spleen and stomach. Therefore, some people with spleen and stomach deficiency and frequent diarrhea eat it, which can have a good therapeutic effect. In addition, it can also relieve night sweats due to qi deficiency, abdominal distension after pregnancy, shortness of breath, fatigue after strain, etc. In the classic of traditional Chinese medicine, Lun Shu on Materia Medica, the health care function of glutinous rice is fully expounded, saying that glutinous rice is a valley for nourishing the spleen and stomach, benefiting the lungs and benefiting qi. If the spleen and stomach benefit, it will be warm and firm; Warming and tonifying can benefit qi and circulate qi smoothly, so the body is too hot, which is suitable for people with spleen and lung deficiency and cold body. "

People with different diseases eat glutinous rice in winter mainly as follows: dull pain in the stomach caused by yang deficiency, which can be eaten with glutinous rice and red dates in moderation; If the spleen and stomach are weak, abdominal distension and fatigue are weak, glutinous rice, lotus seeds, jujube and yam can be used to cook porridge, and appropriate amount of sugar can be added after cooking; Diarrhea and indigestion caused by deficiency and cold of spleen and stomach can be cooked with glutinous rice wine and eggs.

Glutinous rice is rich in nutrition and has the function of nourishing yin and preserving health. Eating it is not only harmless to the body, but also beneficial. Therefore, you can eat zongzi no matter how many months you are pregnant.

Because glutinous rice is sticky and difficult to digest, you must pay attention to the right amount when eating. (8) What should I pay attention to when packing jiaozi at home? 1, put cold water into the pot, and it is best to use a steamer (bi) at the bottom, and the water should not pass through the zongzi;

2, the fire should be kept with medium fire after boiling, and there is no ceasefire in the middle;

3, cooking time should be more than 3 hours, do not rummage in the middle,

Stew for a while after the ceasefire, and then boil when the water temperature drops to avoid being caught. Cage: an accessory in the steamer, which plays the role of carrying articles.
