Cantonese Zongzi are traditional rice dumplings wrapped in bamboo leaves, originating from the rich culinary heritage of Guangdong province. These delicious parcels are typically filled with glutinous rice, savory ingredients like marinated pork, mushrooms, and salted egg yolk, providing a delightful mix of flavors and textures. While they are a festive favorite during the Dragon Boat Festival, Zongzi can be quite indulgent due to their rich fillings. However, the use of natural ingredients like bamboo leaves and lean meats offers a healthier alternative to many other snacks. Enjoying Zongzi allows you to savor a piece of history while delighting your taste buds!
