About Glutinous rice ball
Glutinous rice balls, or Tangyuan, originate from Chinese cuisine and are a traditional delicacy commonly enjoyed during festive occasions like the Lantern Festival. Made from glutinous rice flour, these soft, chewy spheres are often filled with sweet or savory fillings such as sesame paste, red bean paste, or peanuts. They are typically served in a warm, lightly sweetened broth or sometimes fried. High in carbohydrates from the rice flour, glutinous rice balls provide a quick source of energy but may lack significant protein or fiber. While the fillings often contain healthy fats and nutrients, particularly in sesame or peanut varieties, the sugar content in sweet versions can be high. Moderation is key when enjoying this satisfying and culturally rich dish, as its calorie density can accumulate quickly in larger portions. Overall, it’s a comforting treat best enjoyed as part of a balanced diet.
