Next up is the Eight Treasure Vegetarian Rice Dumpling is packed with nourishing ingredients, such as white fungus, gingko nut and sweet corn. Dessert lovers will appreciate the new Bird’s Nest with Coconut Rice Dumpling and the Mixed Nuts with Yunnan Ham Rice Dumpling, each with ingredients that are proven to be beneficial to our body.
