it's an age-old tradition to eat dark rice or wumifan (乌米饭 in chinese) on the day of the start of summer in hangzhou, which falls on may 5 this year. the dark rice is made from glutinous rice and the juice of sea bilberry leaves, an herb that gives the color and flavor to the rice, functioning as a medicine that spares children from mosquito bites.
