Brown rice is generally available in supermarkets, and fragrant brown or light brown brown brown rice is the best. Before steaming brown rice, soak it for about 30 minutes, and then cook it like normal rice porridge.

Steamed brown rice can stimulate the secretion of gastric juice and contribute to the digestion and absorption of nutrients. But diabetics had better not drink this kind of brown rice porridge directly. Usually drinking rice porridge directly may lead to a sudden increase in blood sugar.
