Are the zongzi sold outside usually cooked or raw?

The vacuum-packed zongzi is cooked, and it enters the vacuum-packed stage after being cooked and cooled. But you still have to cook it after you buy it, just like you have to reheat it after you put it in the refrigerator.

If vacuum-packed zongzi can't be eaten all at once, it can be kept in the refrigerator. If you don't eat it in the near future, you'd better keep it in the freezer without opening it. Freeze for a few months. No problem. When you want to eat, just boil it, then pick it up and steam it thoroughly.
