Spring has passed and summer is long. During the beginning of summer, the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions make a seasonal delicacy - black rice, also known as beginning of summer rice. As the saying goes, "After eating black rice, mosquitoes do not bite." As a traditional custom, the fragrant bowl of black rice at the beginning of summer may have been a taste memory formed for many years for people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Without this sweet and sticky black rice, it seems that the beginning of summer is incomplete.
