There is a saying in Nanning that "pedestrians are sad and sour", which describes "sour wild" vividly. It is made of papaya, radish, cucumber, lotus root, broccoli, pineapple and other local seasonal fruits and vegetables, and pickled with sour vinegar, pepper and sugar. It tastes sour and sweet, spicy, crispy and delicious, and stimulates appetite.

Pickled sauerkraut is a pickled vegetable, a special snack in Guangxi and a great invention of the Zhuang people. It uses vinegar, sugar and other raw materials to pickle vegetables and fruits, and has the effects of promoting fluid production to quench thirst, invigorating stomach, sterilizing, diminishing inflammation and relieving fatigue. It is also an important way to supplement natural plant cellulose and vitamins. Garlic leaves were first invented in the late Qin Dynasty and are still widely popular in most parts of Guangxi and parts of Guangdong Province. Some varieties, such as pickled radish skin, have been improved and adopted by many cuisines.
