Most middle-aged and elderly people prefer to drink porridge, because it can not only nourish the stomach, but also be easier to digest. There are many kinds of porridge. Different ingredients are cooked with porridge, which tastes different. Chestnuts cooked with porridge are more nutritious. Chestnut porridge has both the faint sweetness of chestnuts and the silky taste of porridge. When making chestnut porridge, you must master the heat. Here's how to make chestnut porridge.

Ingredients: appropriate amount of rice and appropriate amount of chestnut (fresh).

Seasoning: Appropriate amount of water.

The practice of chestnut porridge:

1. Wash a dozen chestnuts and draw a cross on the top of the chestnuts with a knife.

2. add water to chestnuts (the water level has not passed) and put them in a pot to cook. Rinse quickly with cold water after taking out. When the temperature drops, they will be peeled off one by one. When peeling, keep other chestnuts still soaked in cold water. If you take them out to dry, it will be difficult to peel them. )

3. Wash pearl rice (soaked for half an hour is better) and add water to cook porridge.

4. Break chestnuts with a cooking machine (if the unbroken particles are large, you can put them in a pot and cook them with rice first).

5. Add chestnut powder after the porridge is cooked.

6. Keep stirring after adding chestnut powder, otherwise it will stick to the bottom of the pot and cook again.

Nutritional efficacy:

1, chestnut efficacy indications: nourishing stomach and strengthening spleen, tonifying kidney and strengthening tendons, promoting blood circulation and stopping bleeding. "Edible Materia Medica" records chestnuts as follows: "Main qi, thick stomach, kidney qi, people are hungry."

2. You must choose pearl rice to cook porridge, which is named after its plump rice grains, white color and pearl-like appearance. The best pearl rice producing area in China is in the northeast. Personally, I think the rice in the north is cooked once a year, and the rice in the south is cooked twice a year. The rice in the north has higher nutritional value.

Autumn is the harvest season of chestnut. Chestnut, also known as "the fruit of kidney, should be treated for nephropathy", has the effects of invigorating spleen and kidney, strengthening tendons and bones. Especially suitable for people with yang deficiency.

Chestnuts can be eaten raw or cooked. Cooked food also strengthens the stomach and spleen, and has a good effect on diarrhea caused by spleen deficiency. As far as tonifying kidney is concerned, raw food plays a stronger role.

Raw chestnuts are especially suitable for the elderly, with weak waist and knees, loose teeth, frequent urination, cough and other symptoms of kidney deficiency. The eating method is: air-dry raw chestnuts, and take 3 chestnuts in the morning and 3 chestnuts in the evening. Chew slowly in your mouth until there is no residue in the taste, and then swallow it slowly.

Although chestnuts are good, they should not be eaten more. If you eat too much, it will be difficult to digest and hurt your spleen and stomach. It is enough to eat 10 cooked.
