Uncover the mystery of zongzi "heartburn"


Glutinous rice promotes the secretion of stomach acid

Many people feel sick after eating zongzi, blaming it on "heartburn." This feeling is largely because glutinous rice promotes the secretion of stomach acid, so people with too much stomach acid may be uncomfortable to eat sweet zongzi. The main material of zongzi is glutinous rice, which is compacted during the production process. Sticky glutinous rice makes the food energy density become higher, our stomach needs to consume more time, and everyone's digestive "ability" is different, which takes about 6-8 hours.

Let's take a look at what an average sized zongzi is:

A medium-sized red bean dumpling is about 151 grams, the volume is about the size of a fist.

A medium sized egg yolk dumpling is 209 grams, the volume is about the size of one and a half fists.
