Let's learn about different kinds of rice. Rice can be divided into long grain rice, medium grain rice and short grain rice according to its shape. The porridge cooked with long grain rice tastes soft and smooth; The porridge cooked with medium-grained rice is between long-grained rice and short-grained rice, and its taste is moderate; The porridge cooked with short grains of rice is sticky and tastes soft and waxy.
Rice can be divided into brown rice, germ rice and polished rice according to the degree of processing. Brown rice retains all the nutrients of rice, with high dietary fiber content and rough taste; Germ rice retains most of the nutrients of rice, has high dietary fiber content and tastes more delicate than brown rice. After grinding, the husk, germ and bran of polished rice are removed, and the taste is delicate, but the nutritional components are also lost.
Therefore, different people should choose suitable rice porridge according to their own preferences and health conditions. For healthy people, brown rice and germ rice are better choices because they retain more nutrients. For people with weak gastrointestinal function, polished white rice may be more suitable because it tastes more delicate. For those who like to eat soft glutinous porridge, short grain rice is a better choice.
The amount of water for cooking porridge is also an important factor affecting the taste of porridge. Generally speaking, the ratio of rice to water is 1:5- 1: 10. Like to eat porridge, you can put more water; If you like to eat thick porridge, you can put less water.
What kind of rice is good for cooking rice porridge is a matter of opinion. According to personal preferences and health status, choose the right rice porridge to cook the rice porridge that suits you best.
