How to make cherry ice porridge

1. First cook the white porridge (the ratio of rice to glutinous rice is 5:1, adding glutinous rice is to make the porridge more fragrant and thicker), let it cool down and put it in the refrigerator for about 2 hours.

2. Remove the pits from the cherries and cut them into small dices (if you are lazy, you don’t need to cut or remove the pits, but be careful not to break your teeth while drinking).

3. Dissolve 2 tablespoons of sugar in as little water as possible into thick sugar water, pour it into the cold porridge, and then add the chopped cherries.

1 Cherry belongs to the genus Ceraras in the Rosaceae family and is a temperate deciduous fruit tree. Cherry matures early and is known as the first fruit of early spring. There are four types of cherries cultivated as fruit trees in my country: Chinese cherry, sweet cherry, sour cherry and hairy cherry. Cherry is red like agate, as big as a bullet, as small as a pearl, watery and shiny, and very tempting.

2 Cherries are not only colorful, but also delicious and nutritious. They contain carbohydrates, proteins, calcium, phosphorus, iron and multiple vitamins. In particular, the iron content is as high as 6 to 8 mg per 100 grams, which is 20 to 30 times higher than apples, oranges and pears. The vitamin A content is 4 to 5 times higher than apples, oranges and grapes. Therefore, eating cherries can promote hemoglobin regeneration and prevent cancer.

3 Cherries also have medicinal value. Their roots, branches, leaves, cores, and fresh fruits can all be used as medicine to treat a variety of diseases. In particular, they can promote the regeneration of hemoglobin, which is beneficial to patients with anemia. Li Shizhen, a pharmacist in the Ming Dynasty, recorded in "Compendium of Materia Medica" that cherries have multiple medicinal effects such as invigorating qi, removing rheumatism, clearing rashes, and detoxifying. (Cherries are hot in nature, so they should not be eaten by people with fever and cough. Cherry kernels contain cyanogenic glycosides, which hydrolyze to produce hydrogen cyanide. Ingestion may cause poisoning symptoms.)
