About Tang yuan
Tang Yuan, or glutinous rice balls, is a cherished dessert in Chinese cuisine, often enjoyed during celebrations like Lantern Festival and Winter Solstice. Made from glutinous rice flour mixed with water, Tang Yuan is typically filled with sweet or savory ingredients such as black sesame paste, red bean, peanut butter, or minced meat. These soft, chewy treats are served in a warm broth, which can be sweet (such as ginger syrup) or savory. While Tang Yuan is a delicious source of carbohydrates, its glutinous rice base contributes to a higher glycemic index, meaning it may cause rapid blood sugar spikes if consumed heavily. The fillings can be nutrient-rich––like black sesame seeds, which are high in healthy fats and antioxidants––but some varieties can be calorie-dense due to added sugars and fats. Moderation is key for enjoying Tang Yuan while maintaining balanced nutrition.
