Rice is not only the staple food on our table, but also the treasure of health. Japonica rice, glutinous rice and millet, these common grains in life, each contain the secret of health.
First, let's step into the world of japonica rice. You may be unfamiliar with this name, but when it comes to rice and white rice, you must be familiar with it. In the records of the ancients, japonica rice was described as "a late rice variety between indica and glutinous rice, with short and coarse rice grains, strong viscosity and low swelling". In fact, it is the protagonist of our daily dinner table.
Japonica rice, which seems to be an ordinary food, actually contains a wealth of health wisdom. Li Shizhen once praised it in the "Compendium of Materia Medica" for "curing all deficiencies and all losses, replenishing the middle and benefiting the qi, strengthening the muscles and bones, rejuvenating the jin, brightening the eyes, and growing wisdom". Not only that, but the magic of japonica rice is also reflected in the different cooking methods. Stir-fried scorched rice can stop diarrhea and has an excellent effect on people with cold deficiency and long-term ejaculation and indigestion. The stir-fried rice is made into tea and drunk, which has the effect of strengthening the spleen and reducing the stomach. There is also an essence called "japonica rice juice", which is known as "porridge oil" and has an excellent nourishing effect.
Let's talk about glutinous rice, this kind of sticky food, which also has a good performance in terms of health preservation. Glutinous rice is known as "a wonderful product for warming and nourishing stomach qi", which can replenish the middle and nourish the qi, strengthen the spleen and stomach. Not only that, but sticky rice can also help improve symptoms of indigestion and constipation. The most common glutinous rice product in daily life, zongzi, has the effect of clearing away heat and trouble, facilitating urination, strengthening the spleen and warming the stomach.
Finally, let's get to know Xiaomi. Although this northern grain is small, it is very nutritious. The content of iron, carotene, vitamins B1 and B2 in millet is higher than that in rice. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that millet has the effect of strengthening the spleen and removing fever, benefiting the kidney and qi to replenish deficiency, diuresis and swelling. Moreover, the pot and millet bran oil made of millet also have unique health effects.
In general, rice is not only the staple food on our table, but also a good helper for our health. Different rice, each has its own wonderful use, as long as we are good at using, with a household millet machine mill, nutritious and fresh, can make our life healthier, better.
