About Sweet rice balls

Sweet Rice Balls, known as Tangyuan in Chinese cuisine, are a traditional dessert often enjoyed during Lunar New Year and other festive occasions. These delicious treats are made from glutinous rice flour mixed with water to form soft, chewy dough, then shaped into small balls. They can be filled with sweet pastes such as black sesame, peanut, or red bean, or served plain in a warm, lightly sweetened broth. Originating from East Asia, this dish symbolizes unity and togetherness. While Sweet Rice Balls are rich in flavor and a source of quick energy due to their carbohydrate content, they can be high in sugar and calories, depending on the filling and preparation method. Nutrient additions like sesame add healthy fats and vitamins, but portion control is key for those monitoring sugar intake. A comforting dessert, these rice balls offer a balance of tradition and indulgence.
