1. Black rice was praised as "God Rice" by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
Black rice is a kind of rice with both medicine and food, and its quality is good. There are two kinds of grain types: indica rice and japonica rice, and the grain quality is divided into waxy and non-waxy. Rice is black or dark brown and has high edible value. In addition to cooking porridge, it can also be used to make various nutritious foods and make wine. According to legend, it was first discovered by Zhang Qian, the Duke of Bowang, when he was Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty more than 2,000 years ago, and dedicated to the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. After eating it, Hanwang praised it as a "divine meal", which emperors of all dynasties liked to eat.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that black rice has significant medicinal value. Black rice is warm, which can replenish qi and blood, warm stomach and strengthen spleen, nourish liver and kidney, and relieve cough and asthma. It is especially suitable for patients with spleen and stomach weakness, asthenia, anemia and blood loss, palpitation and shortness of breath, cough and asthma, premature ejaculation and nocturnal emission, frequent urination, etc. According to ancient agricultural medical books, black rice has the functions of nourishing yin and tonifying kidney, strengthening the body and warming the stomach, improving eyesight and promoting blood circulation, clearing liver and moistening intestines, promoting diuresis and replenishing essence, moistening lung and relaxing muscles and tendons. It can be used as dietary medicine, especially for dizziness, anemia, gray hair, soreness of waist and knees, night blindness and tinnitus, and can prolong life after long-term consumption.
Western medicine also thinks that the nutritional value of black rice is obviously higher than that of rice, and its protein, vitamins and trace elements are 1 ~ 3 times higher than that of rice. Moreover, black rice contains a lot of dietary fiber, and the glycemic index is only 55 (white rice 87). So black rice is especially suitable for diabetics. In addition, minerals such as potassium and magnesium in black rice are also conducive to controlling blood pressure and greatly reducing the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Therefore, patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases should take black rice as a part of diet aftercare.
Second, black rice has high nutritional value.
Black rice, a treasure in rice, is known as "Gong Mi", "Medicinal Rice" and "Longevity Rice". Black rice is rich in nutrition, with protein10.73g per100g of black rice, which is 37.0% higher than that of white rice. The "essential amino acid" of human body is 3280mg, which is 25.4% higher than that of semen; At the same time, the content of trace elements is also very rich, such as the iron content of 52.46mg per 100 g of black rice; Calcium is 310.7 mg; ; Zinc is 42.02mg；; Manganese is 4.975mg；; Copper is 34.43mg；; It is higher than the milled rice 138.4%, 107.9%, 34.8%, 4 1.2% and 38.7% respectively. Black rice is a kind of rice which can be used as medicine and food, and it has high medicinal value. Compendium of Materia Medica records the effects of nourishing yin and tonifying kidney, strengthening spleen and warming liver, improving eyesight and promoting blood circulation.
Compared with ordinary rice, black rice not only has high protein content and complete essential amino acids, but also contains a lot of natural black rice pigments, various trace elements and vitamins, especially iron, selenium, zinc, vitamin B 1 and vitamin B2. In China, black rice is commonly known as "medicated rice" and "moon rice". As a tonic for pregnant women and patients with physical weakness, it is also used to improve the iron deficiency anemia of pregnant women, children and anemia animal models.
The dietary fiber content in black rice is very rich. Dietary fiber can reduce the content of cholesterol in blood and help prevent heart disease caused by coronary atherosclerosis. Black rice is rich in fat-soluble vitamins, especially vitamin positive. Modern medical research shows that vitamin is a strong antioxidant, which can resist the generation of strong oxidative carcinogens, promote human energy metabolism, promote blood circulation, improve metabolism, prevent arteriosclerosis, prevent cholesterol deposition and reduce the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases.
Black rice is also rich in selenium, zinc, iron, copper and other essential trace elements. Studies have proved that selenium is an essential nutrient for human body and a strong antioxidant, which is similar to vitamin, but more effective. Selenium is a component of glutathione peroxidase, which can prevent the oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids, inhibit the production of harmful peroxides and free radicals, and protect cells from damage. The protective effects of zinc, iron and copper on blood vessels have also been confirmed by many data.
Black rice also contains water-soluble flavonoids, alkaloids, phytosterols and other medicinal components. Flavonoids have a wide range of components, a wide variety and a large number. Different components may have different physiological activities. The total flavonoids in black rice skin are mainly composed of melanin. According to medical data, the main physiological functions of flavonoids are to maintain the normal osmotic pressure of blood vessels, reduce the fragility of blood vessels, prevent the rupture of blood vessels, stop bleeding, and have good antioxidant properties and the ability to scavenge free radicals.
Third, black rice is beautifully processed.
The skin of black rice has good nutritional value, so in order to preserve the nutrition of black rice, it is often not as refined as white rice, and most of it is eaten directly in the form of "brown rice" after hulling.
Also, black rice is difficult to cook, so it's best to soak it in advance before cooking so that the water can be fully absorbed. Soak it for one day and one night in summer and two days and one night in winter, and then cook it in a pressure cooker for 20 minutes before it is cooked.
In order to prevent the pigment contained in black rice from dissolving in water during soaking, it can be washed gently with cold water before soaking, and it is not suitable for rubbing; The water used for soaking rice should be boiled with rice and cannot be discarded to preserve its nutrients.
Generally speaking, black japonica rice and black glutinous rice are used to cook porridge with the best taste. When cooking porridge with black indica rice, it is best to add some glutinous rice to increase the viscosity. Uncooked black rice is difficult to digest and absorb, and even the best food can't be absorbed, which has no effect on the body, but increases the burden on the gastrointestinal tract. If black rice porridge is not cooked, not only most of the signature nutrients can not be dissolved, but also it is easy to cause acute gastroenteritis if eaten too much, especially for children with weak digestive function, the elderly and patients. So people with indigestion should not eat uncooked black rice.
Fourth, pay tribute to our internal organs —— Teacher Ma Yueling talks about black rice.
Breakfast is mainly porridge cooked with black rice. I've been eating it for years. My family all admire my ability. I'm not tired of eating one thing all year round.

I used to soak black rice in warm water for one day and then cook it slowly for three hours. Because cooking is difficult, I always cook a pot, put it in the refrigerator, and put a bowl in the morning to heat it before eating. Because black rice is rough, it tastes bad.
Later, I put the cooked black rice porridge into the pulverizer to make a thin paste, and then I cooked the black rice porridge again, cooled it and put it in the refrigerator. Put a part into a small pot every morning, then add two eggs and stir thoroughly until you can't see the obvious shadow of the eggs, and then it will be on fire. This completely crushed black rice paste makes the gastrointestinal tract feel particularly comfortable after eating it.
Sometimes, a spoonful of Guyuan cream is added when eating. Such a thick bowl of black rice paste contains eggs, red dates, walnuts, black sesame seeds, donkey-hide gelatin and rock sugar, which can not only help you replenish your spleen and stomach, but also help you replenish blood and kidney, and they are all mushy, directly digesting and absorbing your stomach, directly generating high-quality blood and nourishing your organs.
I introduced this nutritious breakfast to many friends and patients, especially those who are seriously ill and weak, and the effect is very good. Black rice is not dry and can be eaten as a staple food. Anemia, qi deficiency and fatigue, eating for two days without dizziness, strong body, the effect on heart disease patients is also obvious. Because of the rapid blood supply, the symptoms of chest tightness and chest pain are quickly relieved.
A lady eats black rice paste twice a day, saying that it is nutritious and especially hungry, so she eats it as a diet food. After a month, she lost ten pounds, her face looked much better, and her skin became more and more delicate, smooth and elastic. I didn't expect the effect to be so obvious one month later, and she also bid farewell to the title of "yellow-faced woman". Women who want to lose weight must eat more black rice paste, a warm food that nourishes blood and kidney, so as to become slim and healthy.
