2, glutinous rice: flat, qi, stop polydipsia. Rice grains are short and round, and there are many in the north. Suitable for cooking porridge, the cooked porridge is sticky, the rice grains are easy to cook and the cooking rate is low.

In ancient times, ordinary people could not afford expensive supplements. When cooking porridge, they wait for the porridge pot to foam, and the rice soup is as thick as cream. At this time, the rice soup is called "rice oil", also called "porridge oil", which is made by skimming the thickest layer with a spoon or boiling it with a little refined salt. It tastes particularly nourishing and is not inferior to ginseng, so it is called "Dashen soup". This nourishing "rice oil" must use japonica rice, just like rough japonica rice that was not refined in ancient times.

4. Note: Although glutinous rice porridge is a supplement, it is not suitable for everyone. People with phlegm dampness, edema and cholera can't drink glutinous rice porridge, and even rice soup can't be eaten. Glutinous rice oil, like glue, is not conducive to the elimination of moisture, so these people need to avoid eating it.
