The Story of Zongzi - The World's First Take-Out Food

Zongzi (粽子zòngzi /dzong-dzuh/) are the most traditional Dragon Boat Festival food. Related to the Qu Yuan commemoration, the legend says that lumps of rice (not unlike zongzi) were thrown into the river to stop the fish from eating his drowned body.
Zongzi is made of glutinous rice filled with meats, beans, and other fillings. They are wrapped in triangle or rectangle shapes within bamboo or reed leaves and tied with soaked stalks or colorful silky cords. The flavors of zongzi are usually different from one region to another across China.
