Black glutinous pudding is a classic snack in Taizhou, Zhejiang province. The juice extracted from sea bilberry leaves is mixed with glutinous rice flour to make the black glutinous pudding. It is coated with pine pollen, and filled with a mixture of red bean paste, sesame seeds, and osmanthus flowers.

Yin Wei, the owner of Chenji black glutinous pudding shop, said that the shop's black glutinous pudding do not contain any additives and tastes best when eaten on the same day they are made. The soft and sticky texture of the black glutinous pudding has made them a favourite among locals, representing the traditional taste of Taizhou, Zhejiang.
