What is the leaf of zongzi? How to choose fresh Zongye?

How to choose fresh Zongye

1. Look at the appearance, the color of 'green rice dumpling leaves' is green and looks very beautiful, while the color of normal rice dumpling leaves will be dark and yellow after high-temperature cooking in the production process;

2. Smell the taste, the dumplings' green leaves' are not strong after cooking, but have a light smell of sulfur;

3. Look at the water for cooking zongzi, the water turns green after 'green Zongye' is boiled, and the water appears light yellow after the normal Zongye is boiled.

But Xiaobian should also remind you that the two methods of 'seeing' and 'smelling' are not very accurate, because sometimes the color and smell are not so obvious, and 'cooking' is a very effective method. You can also exclude & lsquo; rejuvenated Zongye & rsquo; through the brand logo and QS logo;. '

Is the fresh zongzi leaf wet or dry?

When the leaves are dried in the sun, the fragrance and original taste of the bamboo leaves will be 'locked' into the leaves. Therefore, the fragrance and original taste of the bamboo leaves can more penetrate into the zongzi and the cooked zongzi will be more fragrant. Mr. Ke suggested that when you buy Zongye, you should give priority to dry Zongye, so that you can not only put an end to the worry of "green back Zongye", but also package zongzi with the taste of "old Xiamen".

The fresh brown leaves have a kind of fragrance, so the wrapped brown leaves are authentic, and the dried leaves have no flavor.

According to your preferences, each has its own good.
