In my childhood memories, barley kernels are considered coarse grains, which are common, and most people don't like to eat them. But I like the smooth taste of barley kernels. Nowadays, barley kernels are rare in the market, and they are still a bit nostalgic. When I saw people selling barley kernels, I bought them and used barley kernels with red dates, yam, glutinous rice, and rice to cook porridge. It was very delicious.
Red dates can nourish blood and qi, invigorate the spleen and stomach, nourish blood and soothe the nerves, strengthen the brain and resist aging. Yam has both medicinal and food effects, which can nourish the kidneys and also invigorate the spleen and stomach. Therefore, yam, red dates, barley kernel porridge is very healthy. "
