This kind of zongzi is understated, and quite similar to ours; the main ingredient is also glutinous rice, but what makes it different is that the auxiliary ingredients are banana and shredded coconut. And they also eat zongzi in everyday life.

This very good-looking zongzi is from Thailand; Thai zongzi are all small, only the size of an egg, and they are mainly sweet in flavor, each one a different color, looking just like flowers.

This kind of zongzi is from Mexico; the Mexican people call it "tamal". Its main ingredient is cornmeal, and the filling inside is sliced meat and chili peppers, so it probably tastes very spicy!

Japanese zongzi were introduced from China during the Nara period; what makes them different from ours is that their raw material is rice flour, and they are in a long strip shape. Quite a few netizens said after seeing them that they are an eyesore!
