The weather is too cold, and the indoors in Hunan are only a few degrees Celsius, so steaming buns has become a painful thing. Sometimes the dough can't be made for a whole day, so during this time, breakfast can only find another way.

My son likes to eat glutinous rice food. The glutinous rice food can replenish the body's righteousness. After eating, the whole body will become warm. It has a good protection against cold and nourishment. It is especially suitable for eating in winter. So when the weather is cold, I use glutinous rice instead of rice to cook for my family. I rush to work in the morning and time is tight. Therefore, my family does not have the habit of cooking for breakfast. I made a glutinous rice ball for my child a few days ago. The child especially liked it. Well, so the breakfast during this time is it every day, soft and sweet, don't mention how happy the child eats.
But in daily life, Meimei finds that many people dare not eat more glutinous rice and glutinous rice food, and find glutinous rice difficult to digest. This is really wrong!

The starch contained in glutinous rice is amylopectin. Compared with the amylose in rice and white noodles, the digestion speed is much faster. So why are some glutinous rice products not easy to digest? This has a lot to do with the practice of glutinous rice food.

The common traditional glutinous rice products are glutinous rice balls and zongzi, which are rich in oil and sugar. And whether it is glutinous rice balls or rice dumplings, almost all use animal fats, mostly saturated fatty acids, so it is really not easy to digest. This is not a problem with glutinous rice itself. Another is that glutinous rice food is more digestible when eaten hot than cold. So when everyone eats glutinous rice food, try to keep it hot as much as possible.
I asked my son to eat this glutinous rice ball, which I still want to eat for a week. I added a lot of lotus root puree to it, so the taste is refreshing and soft, and people can’t stop eating one. Friends who like to eat glutinous rice must try it. Oh!

Winter is the best time to eat lotus root. It has the effects of nourishing yin and clearing heat, moisturizing dryness and quenching thirst, and soothing the mind. The refreshing taste can relieve the greasiness of glutinous rice, and it is particularly refreshing to eat. It can also promote the digestion of glutinous rice food, a very classic one. Match.
