Xiao Mi Zong (小米粽) Millet Dumpling
 



Xiao mi zong (小米粽) (pinyin with tones: xiǎo mǐ zòng) looks like zong zi (粽子, sticky rice dumpling), a traditional glutinous rice-based food wrapped by leaves. Xiao mi zong is a traditional food of Taiwanese indigenous peoples. There are some features differentiate between xiao mi zong and other zong zi. First, the shape of xiao mi zong is like a long cylinder, while most zong zi looks like a regular tetrahedron. Second, xiao mi zong is made of millet, not of glutinous rice. Besides, the inner leaves xiǎo mǐ zong used is khasya trichodesma (假酸漿葉), which is edible and helps digestion; the leaves of zong zi are just for wrapping.

Hi, I’m Mosa. This name is taken from the latter words of Formosa, the former name of Taiwan in 16th century which means “beautiful island.” Indeed, Taiwan does have ravishing natural landscapes and diverse cultures worth exploring. However, there is no much access for foreigners to learn more about Taiwanese culture in English. Here in TAIWANBOW. 臺灣飽典 I started by introducing Taiwanese food to arouse people’s attention to Taiwan since Taiwan has been voted as the country with the best food*. I hope that through this website I can make some contribution to Taiwan, where I was born and grew up.
