Note: Yuanxiao is rich in nutrition, its main ingredient is glutinous rice flour, which contains fat, carbohydrate, calcium, iron, riboflavin, niacin and other nutrients. At the same time, its conventional filling is mainly fruit and dried fruit, including sesame, walnut, peanut, plus vegetable oil, so its nutritional value is "higher". Therefore, traditional Chinese medicine has always regarded Yuanxiao as a tonic, blood regulating, spleen strengthening and appetizer. Modern nutritionists also highly value its health care function. It's nutritious to eat yuanxiao cooked. Because of its high nutrition, cooking is good for digestion, but after frying, the nutrients in it will be reduced, and it is not good for absorption. However, if you eat too much yuanxiao, you will get sick. This is because although glutinous rice can appetizer and regulate deficiency, cakes made of glutinous rice, such as yuanxiao, have fine texture and should not be digested by intestines and stomach. It has long been recorded in compendium of Materia Medica that glutinous rice is sticky and difficult to melt. "Ben Cao Feng Yuan" also said that if glutinous rice is made into sticky cakes, it is difficult to transport the nature, so patients should not eat it. Therefore, traditional Chinese medicine advocates that the elderly, children and those who have just recovered from serious illness should eat less yuanxiao.
