Black rice glutinous rice

Overview

Fermented glutinous rice is a kind of sweet rice wine made by fermenting steamed glutinous rice (glutinous rice) mixed with rice wine koji (a special kind of microbial yeast). It is also called fermented glutinous rice, rice wine, sweet wine, sweet rice wine, glutinous rice wine, glutinous rice wine, distiller's grains and so on. The glutinous rice glutinous rice is sweet and pungent, contains sugar, organic acids, vitamins B1, B2, etc., and can replenish qi, promote body fluids, activate blood circulation, disperse stagnation, and reduce swelling. Not only is it helpful for pregnant women to reduce swelling, but it is also suitable for lactating women to release breast milk. In addition to glutinous rice, glutinous rice can also be made with black rice and red yeast rice, which belong to the same type of glutinous rice. The flavor of the fermented glutinous rice will be slightly different depending on the rice used. The efficacy is roughly the same, but the nutritional content of the rice will be slightly different. The main reason why the color of black rice is different from other rice is that its outer cortex contains anthocyanin pigments, which itself has a strong anti-aging effect. Domestic and foreign studies have shown that the darker the color of rice, the stronger the anti-aging effect of epidermal pigments. The effect of black rice pigments is the strongest among rice of various colors. In addition, this pigment is also rich in flavonoid active substances, which is five times more than white rice, and has a great effect on preventing arteriosclerosis. Therefore, the nutritional content of glutinous rice made from black rice will be higher than that from white rice. The mash also has the effect of warming the body. Every time I make the mash, I can’t wait to eat a bowl directly, or drink a glass of filtered wine juice. I feel warm immediately after eating it. The severe cold days are coming soon. It is a good choice to eat some glutinous rice every day. It is healthy and delicious!
