Each food has its own nutrient content, they have different proportions, and the benefits, including the "sexual taste" mentioned in Traditional Chinese medicine, are different. In fact, all food is so, if the more types, the more nutritious, the more complementary, what we pursue is food diversification, if you add some glutinous rice in millet, you can also add some black rice, add some barley, that nutrition is richer.
For example, soybeans are rich in plant protein, eggs, milk is rich in animal protein, some protein decomposition in plants after the proportion of amino acids may be different from the amino acids of animal protein, although the absorption efficiency of both is not low, but if it can be mixed together to eat, it will help to complement each other, so that protein is better absorbed.
Millet in the grain can actually be counted as a coarse grain food, and glutinous rice can be a fine grain, millet porridge alone may make people feel bland, if you add some glutinous rice, you can make the taste softer, rich in flavor, improve appetite.
The characteristic of glutinous rice is that most of the starch it contains belongs to "pullulan", and compared with the ordinary rice and coarse grain foods we usually eat, most of the starch in rice and coarse grain foods is "amylose". As the name suggests, the structure of the branch is more branches, the structure of these branches can be in contact with salivary amylase in a larger area, which is more conducive to decomposition and digestion, so we eat glutinous rice, glutinous rice porridge feel soft glutinous sweet taste, many times glutinous rice is used to add in white rice or other coarse grain foods to add flavor, glutinous.
However, although amylopectin can make glutinous rice softer glutinous alcohol, but the disadvantages are also obvious, because it is better digested and absorbed, so starch can be decomposed into glucose faster, glucose quickly into the blood, it has a greater impact on blood sugar, for high blood sugar, diabetes patients are not good.
In addition, we can look at it from the perspective of traditional medicine, millet is called "corn" in traditional Chinese medicine, it is cool, the taste is sweet and salty, if it is a long-term millet, the taste will become "bitter" and cool, can be like a kidney into the spleen, there is a heat-clearing and kidney-detoxifying effect; millet can nourish yin and urinate, millet is rich in mineral content, but also rich in crude protein, dietary fiber.
Glutinous rice in traditional medicine is called "jiang rice", we usually love to eat snacks "jiang rice strips" is glutinous rice fried dim sum, glutinous rice is warm and sweet, if the two added together just can neutralize the sexual taste, the attributes are very mild, all kinds of people can eat, glutinous rice has the effect of warm tonic, can warm the spleen and warm the stomach, but it should be noted that cold glutinous rice should not be eaten more, not easy to digest, and too much glutinous rice intake may also be not suitable for digestion, because glutinous rice is sticky, easy to stick into a ball attached to the digestive tract, it is difficult to enter the stomach digestion, Therefore, glutinous rice should be added appropriately and eaten appropriately.
