Qingtuan is a seasonal Shanghainese snack that can only be eaten during the Qingming Festival, and it gets its name from the green color of mugwort juice or other grass juice added to glutinous rice flour. In all parts of the country, there are many snacks that have gradually faded with the development of the times, such as Qingming Ba in Guizhou, warm mushroom buns in Fujian, Qingming steamed buns in southern Anhui, etc., which are all local specialty snacks in the Qingming period.
Qingtuan tastes very soft, with a light aroma of wormwood, and the bean paste filling in the middle is very sweet, and it does not look greasy under the blending of glutinous rice flour. At present, the filling of the Qingtuan is very rich, including lotus paste, meat, dried shrimp, Ma Lantou and so on. Recently, the Qingtuan is wrapped with egg yolk and meat floss filling, which is in line with the taste of young people, and the Qingtuan has quickly become an Internet celebrity snack and has been sought after by everyone.
