Can old people and children eat green dumplings? The taboo of eating qingtuan on Qingming Festival

Qingtuanzi used to be a sacrifice for tomb sweeping at Qingming Festival in the south of the Yangtze River. Its skin is mixed with glutinous rice and its filling is rough. It is usually eaten by farmers themselves. Qingming Festival in Jiangsu and Zhejiang has the custom of eating green dumplings. Can the old and young children eat soft and glutinous green dumplings? What are the precautions for eating green dumplings?

Green dough is a kind of green cake made of grass head juice. The method is to put the young wormwood, small Jimu grass, etc. into a large pot, add lime to steam and rot, float away lime water, and knead into the glutinous rice flour to make a green dough. Eating the Qingming Festival food is mainly popular in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Mix the juice of green wormwood with glutinous rice flour, and wrap the stuffing such as bean paste stuffing and sesame stuffing into it to make green balls as small as children's fists.

Four notes when eating green dumplings

1. Be sure to heat before eating. Because the glutinous rice in qingtuan is easy to regenerate after cooling, which is not conducive to digestion, and its nutritional structure will also be destroyed;

2. It's better to eat with bamboo shoots or Malan head. Eating these foods together can speed up the digestion and absorption of nutrition of green dough;

3. Never mix it with fat. If glutinous rice is mixed with fat, it will aggravate the burden on the stomach and will easily cause indigestion;

4. It is better to eat some food that is helpful for digestion, such as hawthorn. Because these foods can reduce the digestion burden of glutinous rice food such as digesting green dough in the gastrointestinal tract, which is conducive to the absorption of green dough in the body.

Four kinds of people avoid eating green dumplings

1. The elderly and children are absolutely not suitable for eating green dumplings. Because glutinous rice, the main material for making green dough, is a very difficult food to digest. The digestive function of the elderly and children is not good. Eating green dough is undoubtedly making the digestive system worse for them;

2. It is strictly forbidden for patients with pancreatitis and gastritis to eat green rice balls, because the glutinous rice in the green rice balls will cause the recurrence or deterioration of these inflammation;

3. The glycosuria patient fasts to eat the qingtuan, which contains a lot of sugar. The sugar content of the new qingtuan launched by the businessmen is increasing day by day, and the eating of the qingtuan by the glycosuria patient will undoubtedly worsen the disease;

4. The patients with cholecystitis and gallstones should not eat cyanobacteria, which may aggravate the disease due to dyspepsia.
