Sorghum rice is a traditional food and one of the daily staple foods of people in many areas. Here we discuss the advantages and disadvantages of sorghum rice from the perspective of nutrition and food hygiene.

First of all, from the nutritional point of view, sorghum rice has low protein content and high sugar content, but its total energy and main nutritional components are not less than other cereals such as wheat, rice and corn. Among them, sorghum rice is rich in soluble fiber and insoluble fiber, which is helpful to promote intestinal peristalsis, prevent constipation and not cause acute gastroenteritis and other diseases. In addition, sorghum rice is also rich in trace elements such as iron, potassium, zinc, selenium and B vitamins, which can meet the basic nutritional needs of human body.

However, sorghum rice also has some shortcomings. Because sorghum rice contains a certain amount of mucin, it may stimulate some organs of human body, leading to adverse consequences such as local allergic reaction or wound infection. In addition, sorghum rice is easy to be eroded by mold after long-term storage. Therefore, if we do not pay attention to preservation and storage, mycotoxins may be produced, which is harmful to human health.

Generally speaking, there is nothing special about choosing sorghum rice as daily food, but the following points should be noted:

1. Compared with other cereals, the protein content of sorghum rice is low, so it should be reasonably matched with other protein sources, such as beans, meat and eggs.

2. Sorghum rice storage should pay attention to moisture-proof, mildew-proof, insect-proof, and replace it regularly.

3. When cooking sorghum rice, you can add appropriate amount of mung beans and red beans to increase certain nutritional value and improve the taste. At the same time, you can choose to cook sorghum rice with other rice seeds to improve the absorption and utilization rate of vitamins and nutrients.
