Five-colored glutinous rice is one of the "Top Ten Famous Snacks of Guangxi", named for its typical five colors, namely black, red, yellow, white, and purple. It is dyed with natural plant dyes, resulting in bright colors, a unique fragrance and soft mouthfeel. Every year during Sanyuesan Festival or Qingming Festival, people of all ethnic groups in Guangxi commonly make the five-colored glutinous rice, which symbolizes good fortune and a bountiful harvest.
