About Glutinous rice balls
Glutinous rice balls, known as tangyuan in Chinese cuisine, are a beloved traditional dessert often enjoyed during festivals like the Lantern Festival and Winter Solstice. Made from glutinous rice flour, these chewy, doughy treats can be filled with sweet or savory fillings such as sesame paste, red bean, peanut, or minced meat. They are typically served in a light, subtly sweet broth, such as ginger water, to complement their flavors. Rich in carbohydrates, glutinous rice balls provide a quick energy source but are low in fiber and protein, making them less balanced nutritionally. Some fillings, like black sesame or peanut, offer healthy fats and nutrients, while others may be high in sugars or oil content. Enjoyed occasionally as part of cultural celebrations, they are a rich symbol of family unity and togetherness, best appreciated in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
