【Guangzhou】Purple Sweet Potato Rice Balls

Overview

Tangyuan is rich in nutrients and is a traditional delicacy in my country with a long history. During the Lantern Festival, southerners have the custom of eating glutinous rice balls, while northerners have the custom of eating Yuanxiao. Tangyuan and Yuanxiao are slightly different. I am from the south and have been eating glutinous rice balls since I was a child. Traditional glutinous rice balls are delicious with fillings, but they are high in calories, sugar, and difficult to digest. We recommend a purple sweet potato dumpling, which is high in dietary fiber, easy to digest, and healthy. It has an international atmosphere and is healthy to eat.
