The term "whole grains" has a long history. China people's eating habits with grains as the main body have been followed for thousands of years. As early as two thousand years ago, the book Huangdi Neijing put forward that "five grains are the supplement, five fruits are the help, five animals are the benefit, and five dishes are the supplement". Usually people think that rice and wheat are flour and rice, and miscellaneous grains refer to other grains. In fact, "miscellaneous grains" are a large family, including many kinds of cereals and beans, such as millet, corn, brown rice, buckwheat, barley, oats, sweet potatoes, black beans, broad beans, mung beans and peas.

Intimate suggestion
1. Introduce a good method to save gas quickly when cooking porridge in pressure cooker: As mentioned above, turn off the fire after the capping valve burns to the point where air is injected. Wait until the gas is completely exhausted or 15 minutes later, then turn on the high fire and cook until the air is blown out, and then turn off the fire. In this way, it is enough to inject 2-3 times. My experience is that if it is ordinary rice porridge, it is very good to use it only twice. If it's whole grain rice, you can make it three times if you don't soak whole grains in advance. If you soak your hair in advance, twice is enough. Of course, it depends on the specific situation of each pressure cooker. I use Supor's shaped ring at home, and the effect is really good. Sometimes I'm lazy. I don't wait until I run out of gas, and the effect is good. As for the electric pressure cooker, I haven't tried it. You can try. The principle is the same, but the time is different. But don't open the lid until all the air is exhausted.
2, if you are in a hurry, miscellaneous grains can also be used without blisters in advance. I often come back from work and grab a handful and cook it. There is no difference in taste.
In addition to the miscellaneous grains mentioned above, you can also make your own decisions according to your own situation. But in any case, it is suggested that coix seed, black rice, gordon euryales, brown rice, red beans, red dates, longan and japonica rice should not be saved.
4. japonica rice must not be saved. Its function here can not only make porridge sticky, but also alleviate the rough taste of miscellaneous grains and protect the stomach. It can also be replaced by glutinous rice, but it is easy to increase the burden on the stomach. And the heat of glutinous rice is also high. Just use northeast rice.
Matters needing attention
1, keep a good habit of work and rest, and try to avoid staying up late.
2. Eat less spicy or irritating food.
3. Take an active part in outdoor sports and relax.
4. Don't put too much pressure on yourself and learn to decompress reasonably.
