Laba porridge, also known as "Qibao Wuwei porridge", is made of a variety of ingredients. Its traditional ingredients include rice, millet, corn, coix seed, red dates, lotus seeds, longan and various beans (such as red beans, mung beans, soybeans, black beans and kidney beans). In the Song Dynasty, the custom of cooking and drinking porridge on the day of Laba gradually formed, and it has continued to this day. Laba porridge has also become a traditional food enjoyed by the people every day.

Laba porridge has a wide range of ingredients, and the biggest advantage is complementary nutrition. For example, there is a lack of lysine in cereals and methionine in beans, so cereal and beans can learn from each other and improve the titer of food protein together; Another example is the lack of dietary fiber and B vitamins in white rice, so Laba porridge mixed with many cereal grains is an out-and-out high-fiber diet!
