How old is Huzhou Zongzi?

Huzhou Zongzi is the oldest Zongzi in China, with a history of 133 years. Huzhou, Zhejiang Province, founded in Guangxu period of Qing Dynasty, is one of the traditional time-honored brands in Jiangnan area.

Laoda Zongzi pioneered the exquisite pillow-shaped Zongzi, which is known as the "Zongzi Champion" because of its exquisite materials, sophisticated technology and excellent color, fragrance, taste and shape.

The zongzi of "Zhu Laoda" is not a triangle zongzi that we are familiar with, but a rectangle, which is called pillow zongzi because it looks like a pillow.

Does the shape have a great influence on the quality of zongzi? Yes, pillow-shaped zongzi pays attention to the stuffing in the mouth, and the stuffing is evenly spread in the zongzi as a whole, so that every mouth is the most full fragrance. In addition, the slender shape of the pillow-shaped jiaozi can make jiaozi be heated more evenly inside and outside during the cooking process, and the taste is better. Adding real materials, the taste is far better than triangle dumplings.

Tang Zeng, a famous food expert, said, "Huzhou Zongzi is also famous in China. Almost all roasted dumplings sold in Taipei are called Huzhou dumplings. This can prove that Huzhou Zongzi is widely spread, saying that' the bosses' are well known. "
