Happy Dragon Boat Festival! With zongzi being a staple during the festival, different types have varying calorie counts, potentially leading to weight gain. A nutritionist analyzed 8 common types of zongzi, with northern zongzi using stir-fried glutinous rice and southern zongzi cooking the fillings in boiling water. Among them, the Cantonese zongzi stands out for its richest ingredients, with some brands containing over a thousand calories, equivalent to 2 boxed meals, possibly needing to climb Taipei 101 four times to burn off. Nutritionists advise on consuming zongzi healthily to avoid weight gain and health issues.
