Japonica rice: the most nourishing yin
It has been more than 2,000 years in China to cook porridge with japonica rice for health preservation.

However, glutinous rice is not easy to digest, so the elderly, children and people with weak spleen and stomach should use it with caution.
Brown rice: the most helpful for digestion
After hulling, rice needs to be polished to get the white rice we usually eat. If there is no polished rice, we call it brown rice. In the process of polished rice treatment, the germ, seed coat and aleurone layer of brown rice are removed. From the point of view of nutrition, the nutrients in brown rice are much richer than those in white rice.
Crude fiber molecules of brown rice contribute to gastrointestinal peristalsis and are effective for gastrointestinal diseases such as stomach disease, constipation and hemorrhoids. It can also help lower cholesterol and reduce the chances of heart attacks and strokes. However, due to the rough taste and dense texture of brown rice, it takes time to cook. It is recommended to wash it before cooking, soak it in cold water for one night, and then cook it in a pressure cooker with soaked water for more than half an hour.
