Glossy, fragrant and steeped in tradition, Wufan—black glutinous rice from China's She ethnic group—is a beloved festive delicacy. This unique dish involves soaking sticky rice in the natural juice of Vaccinium bracteatum leaves, a native plant known for its natural black dye. The result is a bowl of rice as dark as ink, delicately aromatic and pleasantly chewy! Passed down through generations, Wufan embodies the She people's deep connection to nature and rich cultural heritage.
