What is the difference between rice paste and porridge?
Rice paste is a semi-solid substance with a certain viscosity and consistency, which is obtained by mechanical crushing and boiling gelatinization of various grains.

Rice paste is rich in raw materials, including all kinds of rice, miscellaneous grains and potatoes.

Rice paste can be quickly absorbed by the human body and can promote appetite. However, the production of rice paste also has disadvantages, and improper grain control is easy to be caught.

Porridge, also known as rice, is a sticky food cooked by rice, millet or corn.

Supplementary food porridge is a kind of porridge for infants, which can be generally divided into meat porridge, vegetable porridge, fruit porridge and so on. As long as it is complementary porridge made of rice, different ingredients such as egg yolk, vegetables, fruits, fish and meat are added, and different ingredients have different nutrition. The choice of complementary porridge side dishes can be decided according to the local food, but children must taste it first, so as to ensure that the baby is interested in complementary porridge and will not be allergic after eating it. While ensuring rich nutrition and light taste, complementary porridge generally requires diversification of food types and frequent renovation of patterns to increase baby's interest in food and appetite.

Here, mothers should be reminded not to add seasonings such as salt and monosodium glutamate to the complementary food porridge, because adding salt and monosodium glutamate to the baby will increase the burden on the kidneys, which is not conducive to the baby's health. After the baby is one year old, a small amount of salt can be added to the complementary food porridge, but the taste is much lighter than that of adults, so as to avoid the baby from developing the bad habit of loving salt and sugar.
