Wild vegetable and two rice porridge

Overview

Today's porridge is made from rice and sorghum. Sorghum rice is not a novel food here, but in recent years people have eaten more refined grains. Gradually, such coarse grains are rarely eaten, and they have become precious again. Occasionally adding a little when making porridge or soy milk does not make the grain appear rough. The wild vegetables used are sweet endive, which is a kind of bitter vegetable. Compared with endive, it tastes better. The locals call it bitter endive. They all have the effect of clearing away heat, detoxifying and reducing internal heat. (Baidu) After sorghum is shelled, it becomes sorghum rice. The main production areas are concentrated in the northeastern region, eastern Inner Mongolia, and the hilly and mountainous areas of the southwest. Sorghum is divided into red and white. Red sorghum is also called wine sorghum and is mainly used for wine making. White sorghum is used for food. It is warm in nature and sweet in taste. Sorghum has certain medicinal effects, and has the effects of harmonizing the stomach, strengthening the spleen, eliminating stagnation, warming the body, astringing the stomach and intestines, and preventing cholera. Sorghum contains tannins, which have the effect of astringing and fixing diarrhea. Patients with chronic diarrhea often eat sorghum rice porridge, which has obvious curative effects. However, those with dry stools should eat less or no sorghum.
