In the past few days, reporters have visited and found that tangyuan is rich in flavor, and fruits and vegetables are quite favored by young people.

On February 24, the reporter came to a Yonghui supermarket in Chang'an District, and in the frozen product counter area, eight refrigerated cabinets were placed with various flavors of tangyuan according to the brand, and the prices of black sesame seeds, strawberries and prices ranged from 8 yuan to 30 yuan per 500 grams. In addition to the traditional black sesame dumplings, brands such as Miss and Sanquan have also introduced flavors such as strawberry, pineapple, and dragon fruit, and like Xiaoxia, this novel flavor of tangyuan is favored by many young people. "Young consumers like strawberry, pineapple, dragon fruit and other flavors of tangyuan, diabetics want to relieve their hunger can eat this sugar-free tangyuan." Ms. Su, a tally clerk at Yonghui Supermarket, told reporters that Tangyuan has always been sold in the supermarket, but the loading area was expanded before the Lantern Festival, and the containers that originally put bulk dumplings were all placed on Tangyuan, and this year's promotion efforts are very large, and sales have increased a lot over the same period last year.

In addition to the difference in taste, some merchants spend time on consumers of different ages, some brands have launched a "small tangyuan" for children, in addition to the small size, this kind of tangyuan taste is more abundant, there are purple potatoes, strawberries, matcha and other fruit and vegetable flavors and chestnut, hazelnuts, peanuts and other nut flavors, a bag of 260 grams of small tangyuan price of 17.9 yuan.

Xiaoxia and her friends share a room nearby, and it is about to celebrate the Lantern Festival, so she comes to the supermarket to buy some tangyuan to taste. "I've loved to eat tangyuan since I was a child, and now I can buy all kinds of tangyuan, so this year I can buy something different and take it home to taste." Xiaoxia said that this year's Lantern Festival wanted to eat some different flavors of tangyuan, so she bought a bag of fruits and vegetables and went home at night to share with friends.

Various flavors of tangyuan make consumers can't help but eat more, but the outer skin of tangyuan is made of glutinous rice and is not easy to digest, therefore, tangyuan is delicious but not greedy. Liu Jinli, director of the Spleen and Stomach Department of the East Branch of Shijiazhuang City Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said that eating too much tangyuan will cause bloating, and it is recommended that the public eat about six at a time. Liu Jinli said that patients with chronic gastritis, stomach cramps and other spleen and stomach diseases, diabetics, hypertension patients, and patients who have undergone gastrointestinal surgery should eat less or not eat tangyuan. The outer skin of the tangyuan is made of glutinous rice, which is sugary and indigestible, and the bean paste filling inside also contains sugar, which will cause the patient to recur the disease, increase the blood sugar, and aggravate the disease. "If ordinary people feel bloated and uncomfortable after eating tangyuan, they can eat hawthorn pills or stomach digestion tablets to relieve it." For the sugar-free tangyuan on the market, Liu Jinli said that diabetics can eat a little appropriately.
