What's the difference between millet and rice?

Millet is positive and rice is negative.

The iron content of millet with the same weight is twice as high as that of rice, and the vitamin B 1 is 1.5 ~ 3.5 times higher than that of rice, and the vitamin B2 is 1 times higher.

The iron content of millet is high, because millet is rich in B2 and so on. Has the functions of invigorating spleen and stomach, and preventing dyspepsia and aphtha. At the same time, the selenium content of millet is also high, so you should eat it often. Selenium is an important antioxidant with obvious anti-aging effect.

Chinese medicine believes that millet is slightly cold, sweet, and has the effects of strengthening the spleen, regulating the stomach and sleeping. Rice is sweet in taste and flat in nature, and has the effects of nourishing the middle warmer, strengthening the spleen and stomach, nourishing essence and strengthening the brain, regulating the five internal organs, dredging blood vessels, quenching thirst, improving eyesight and stopping diarrhea. It is called "the first of the five cereals" and is the main food crop in China.

Second, the regional differences in planting:

Millet is mainly planted in the north, also called millet. Speaking of Xiaomi, I believe everyone will be more impressed, because most of my friends have seen this word more or less when they are studying, whether in classical poems or novels describing the customs of the north.

Rice is mainly planted in the south, which is the name of rice after hulling. Of course, some plains in the north are also planted in large quantities. However, due to climatic reasons, there may be 2-3 harvests in the south, only 1-2 harvests in the north, and other times are used to grow other food crops.

In Cantonese, "millet" is "corn", not "millet", so it is more difficult for Cantonese people to understand the difference between millet and rice, not only because of less contact with millet, but also because of language problems.

Third, the difference between eating:

The popular millet porridge is making millet porridge, which is a general idea, and there is still more room to play on the basis of porridge, so I won't go into details here.

And rice, the most common practice is cooking, and of course it will also be used to cook porridge.

Extended data:

Rice is the finished product of rice after washing, hulling, milling and finishing. ? Rice embryo and aleurone layer contain nearly 64% of rice nutrition and more than 90% of nutrients needed by human body, which are the main foods of southerners.
