Many people have heard that red bean barley soup is a good product for dispelling dampness, but drinking it around, not only failed to get rid of dampness, but the body became heavier and heavier, this is because you did it wrong.
1. Barley + Red Beans: Classic moisture removal combination
When it comes to dampness, many people think of barley red bean soup. But what few people know is that in barley red bean porridge, the "red bean" recommended by Chinese medicine is actually "red adzuki bean", and there is a difference between the two kinds of beans.
Ordinary red beans are fat and round in appearance, mostly used for eating, while red adzuki beans are smaller and more slender, and are used for medicine or boiled barley red bean porridge, and the effect of water removal is more significant. When purchasing, pay attention to distinguish between red beans and red adzuki beans.
2. Soak the barley in hot water for 1 hour before boiling
Barley and red adzuki beans are difficult to cook, and it is difficult to cook directly if the time is not nutritious enough, so it is best to soak in hot water for an hour before cooking. This makes cooking faster and ensures a dampness relief effect.

We often use barley as a ingredient to cook porridge, such as barley red bean porridge, barley lily porridge, etc.; but this "porridge" does not need to increase rice!
Like red beans and barley, how to boil is not thick, the soup is very clear, Chinese medicine just use this "clear" nature to dispel dampness.
Once the rice is added, it becomes viscous, equivalent to adding moisture, and the taste may be better, but for the dampness regimen, the effect will be less strong.
