I had them often when I found a place in Miami that makes them all year around before I moved to Atlanta. What I could taste of the zongzi was good, the reaction that followed was not. Turns out they add peanuts to theirs and I have a major peanut allergy. I bought theirs yesterday and ate one this morning.
