What is the best grain? The answer is Xiaomi. Xiaomi was highly respected in ancient times. Xiaomi is what we often say, with strong vitality. A bowl of millet planted on the ground is a large area, and each millet is a life, which can grow on almost any barren land. As long as you sow it, it can grow up. It is really brilliant to give it a little sunshine, while other food crops may not survive as vigorously as it does. Therefore, the vitality of millet is different from other food crops.
Xiaomi is also a good tonic for people. Since ancient times, most women have to drink millet porridge after giving birth, because millet porridge has excellent nourishing effect. When a woman is weak after childbirth, the old Chinese doctor often said that "porridge is autotrophic" actually refers to the use of millet porridge for aftercare. Therefore, among the whole grains, Chinese medicine believes that millet is the most vital. One thing to note is that when we cook millet porridge, we must not skim the top layer of porridge oil. Porridge oil is the top layer of skin and the most essential part of millet. Its main function is invigorating qi and strengthening spleen. Children's spleen and stomach are weak and often have diarrhea. Drink porridge oil and you'll be fine soon.
In addition, you should know that you should choose to eat fresh millet just like eating fresh vegetables and fruits. Because fresh whole grains are the most vigorous and nutritious. Compared with fresh grain, the nutritional content of those old rotten millet has been greatly reduced. If you have the conditions, you might as well buy some fresh millet.
