Tips:
Glutinous rice has a relatively high calcium content, which has the effect of strengthening bones and teeth. It can be used as a food supplement for children in autumn and winter. Children's gastrointestinal function is relatively weak. Therefore, it is recommended to eat more foods that can enhance the gastrointestinal function. Glutinous rice contains protein, fat, carbohydrates, calcium, phosphorus, iron, vitamin B and starch. It is a warming and strengthening product. It has the functions of warming the stomach, strengthening the gastrointestinal function, stopping diarrhea, nourishing the lungs and spleen, and nourishing the middle and replenishing qi.
This glutinous rice food can also be used as a baby’s supplementary food. Mothers must fully soak the glutinous rice in clean water before giving the baby glutinous rice. The supplementary food added to the baby itself requires rotten quality, and glutinous rice is difficult to digest, so it must be cooked softer than rice porridge. Mothers should soak in water for more than 2 hours before cooking, which makes it easier to boil.
