Sweet Green Rice Balls, special snacks in Kunshan, are famous for their color. Sweet balls are steamed by adding the juice of wormwood, only growing before and after the Qingming Festival, into properly mixed sticky rice/ glutinous rice/ flour, kneading manually and stuffing with different fillings according to preference. The soft and sticky balls are also sweet and refreshing if sweetened bean paste is added. The color and taste embody the features of spring.
