Sweet Green Rice Ball 青團(tuán)

The sweet green rice ball is a Qingming Festival (Tomb Sweeping Day) food popular in Jiangsu and Zhejiang Provinces. It is also a must-have offering at ancestralrituals in the south of the Yangtze River.

Like glutinous rice dumpling, Qingtuan is made from glutinous rice and stuffed with red bean paste. The difference is that squeezed wormwood or brome grass is used in the making of wrapper.

清明時(shí)節(jié)，江南一帶有吃青團(tuán)子的風(fēng)俗習(xí)慣。青團(tuán)子是用艾葉(也可以用其他綠色菜葉代替)搗爛后擠壓出汁，接著取用這種汁同晾干后的水磨純糯米粉拌勻揉和，然后開始制作團(tuán)子。團(tuán)子的餡心是用細(xì)膩的糖豆沙制成。
