Adenophora Rice Porridge

Eating porridge in winter can not only maintain health, keep warm, but also cure diseases. Rice is the best choice for cooking porridge. Rice is sweet and mild in nature, and has the effects of regulating stomach qi, replenishing spleen deficiency, strengthening muscles and bones, and harmonizing the five internal organs. Others such as millet, broomcorn millet, and coix seed rice are sweet in nature and slightly cold, so rice is especially suitable for winter.
