Wu Fan:
Wu Fan was originally a folk food with a long history, dating back to the Tang Dynasty. In the rural areas of Yixing, Liyang, Jintan and Wannan in Jiangsu Province, on the eighth day of the fourth lunar month, many families use black rice leaves to cook black rice, which has become a custom. In Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, Sichuan, Guizhou, Anhui and other places in China, people still retain the ancient custom of eating black rice in the fourth month of the lunar calendar. The method is: pick black rice leaves in early summer, wash them, pound them and soak them a little. When the rice turns dark green, take it out and let it dry for a while; then put the green juice into the pot and boil it, add the rice to the pot and cook it. After it is cooked, the rice will be green in color and smell fragrant. .
