Four-flavor yam porridge
Overview
White lentils are added to the yam, barley and Gorgon porridge to create the four-flavored yam porridge. White lentils are sweet in taste and slightly warm in nature. They have the effects of strengthening the spleen and reducing dampness, diuresis and swelling, clearing the liver and improving eyesight. It is used for weak spleen and stomach, loss of appetite, loose stools, chest tightness and abdominal distension. White lentils are also an ingredient with the same origin as medicine and food. However, it is rarely used. It is very common in the market, but I almost never buy it. I don’t know what else it can be used for except cooking porridge. However, it seems to be more commonly used in traditional Chinese medicine to strengthen the spleen, remove dampness and stop diarrhea? The four flavors are used together. I have seen them in prescriptions. I guess they benefit the spleen and kidneys, remove dampness and turbidity, and stop diarrhea? . . . .
