Not sweet or greasy, the fragrance is light but long. The following is the introduction of Tomb-Sweeping Day group meeting that I arranged for you, for reference only, and I hope it will help you.

Blue, mixed with wheat straw juice into glutinous rice flour, and then wrapped in bean paste stuffing, not sweet or greasy, with a faint but long grass fragrance. Nowadays, some green balls sold in the market are made of wheat straw, some are made of wormwood juice, and some are made of other green leaf vegetable juice and glutinous rice flour stuffed with bean paste. The function of Qing Tuan as a sacrifice is weakening day by day, and more people regard it as a spring outing snack.

2. The origin of Tomb-Sweeping Day's reunion dinner.

Legend has it that one year in Tomb-Sweeping Day, Taiping Chen, the right-hand general of Li Xiucheng of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, was chased by Qing soldiers, and a farmer nearby came forward to help, disguised Taiping Chen as a farmer and cultivated land with him. Taiping Chen was not caught, and the Qing soldiers didn't stop there, so they sent more soldiers to set up posts in the village, and everyone who left the village had to be inspected to prevent them from bringing food to Taiping Chen.

After returning home, when the farmer was considering what to take to Chen Taiping, he went out and slipped on a clump of wormwood. When he got up, he saw that his hands and knees were stained with green. He immediately took care of it, quickly picked some wormwood and went home, washed it, boiled it, squeezed it into glutinous rice flour and made it into zongzi. Then put the green jiaozi in the grass and mix with the sentry at the village entrance.

Taiping Chen ate this green ball and felt fragrant, waxy and non-sticky. After dark, he bypassed the Qing army post and returned to the base camp safely. Later, Li Xiucheng ordered the Taiping Army to learn to be a youth league to defend itself against the enemy. The custom of eating dumplings spread.

Take it out and pour it into bamboo plaques with plain oil, and you can go on sale. Because the wax powder is very sticky, it needs scissors one by one when it is supplied.

Wash the red beans, add water, (submerge the beans) and alkali into the pot and cook until crisp. Press it with a shovel, add meat oil and osmanthus, stir fry in a pot, and let it cool in a basin.

4. Introduction of the nutritional value of the Youth League.

Artemisia argyi has high nutritional value, contains vitamins, calcium, phosphorus, iron, zinc and other mineral elements, and has the functions of cooling, clearing away heat and toxic materials, calming liver and purging fire, expelling wind and removing dampness, diminishing inflammation and relieving cough. Because it contains arborvitae aromatic oil, it has a unique flavor. Among them, selenium, an anticancer trace element, is 10 times that of aloe vera, a recognized anticancer plant. In addition, it has a good dietotherapy effect on lowering blood pressure, reducing blood lipid and relieving cardiovascular diseases, and is a typical health-care vegetable.

Moreover, glutinous rice also has many benefits. Glutinous rice tastes sweet and warm, and enters the spleen, stomach and lungs. Has the effects of invigorating middle warmer, invigorating qi, nourishing stomach, invigorating spleen, strengthening exterior surface, arresting sweating, relieving diarrhea, preventing miscarriage, removing toxic materials and healing sore. Glutinous rice can be used for deficiency-cold stomachache, gastric and duodenal ulcer, diabetes polyuria, spontaneous sweating due to qi deficiency, acne, furuncle, etc.

Glutinous rice is a mild tonic, which has the functions of tonifying deficiency and blood, strengthening spleen and warming stomach, and stopping sweating. It is suitable for nausea, anorexia and diarrhea caused by spleen and stomach deficiency and cold, sweating, shortness of breath and abdominal distension during pregnancy caused by qi deficiency. Modern scientific research shows that glutinous rice contains protein, fat, sugar, calcium, phosphorus, iron, vitamin B and starch. It is a warm and strong product. The starch contained in it is amylopectin, so it is difficult to digest and hydrolyze in the gastrointestinal tract.

5. Precautions for eating the Youth League

(1) Green balls must be heated before eating. Because the glutinous rice in the green ball is easy to reverse after cooling, it is extremely unfavorable for digestion, and the nutritional structure inside will also be destroyed.

(2) It is best to eat green balls with bamboo shoots or Malantou. Eating these foods together can accelerate the digestion and nutrient absorption of green balls.

(3) Green balls should never be mixed with fat. If the indigestible food like glutinous rice is mixed with oil, it will increase the burden on the stomach and easily cause indigestion.

(4) When eating green meatballs, it is best to eat some foods that help digestion, such as hawthorn. Because these foods can reduce the digestive burden of glutinous rice such as green balls in the gastrointestinal tract, which is conducive to the absorption of green balls in the body.

The most important material of the Youth League is wormwood. Although wormwood has the functions of nourishing qi and blood, dispelling cold and dampness, stopping bleeding, sleeping and warming menstruation, it can't be eaten more. Professionals told reporters that it is best to heat the green balls before eating, and then eat some digestive food after eating, because it is not easy to digest if you eat too much.

So, which people are particularly taboo to eat youth league?

The first category is old people and children, because glutinous rice, the main material for making green jiaozi, is extremely difficult to digest, and the digestive function of old people and children is not good. Eating green jiaozi will undoubtedly increase the burden on their digestive system.

In addition, some sick people are not suitable for eating green balls. For example, patients with pancreatitis and gastritis should be forbidden to eat green balls, and diabetics should be careful to eat them because they contain a lot of sugar. At the same time, patients with cholecystitis and gallstones should not eat green balls, because green balls are not easy to digest and may aggravate the condition.
