, changing from colorless to slightly yellow.

Just like when we sometimes add a little alkali to the porridge to make it sticky, it changes the color of the food.

The color is better when boiled with purified water, which is purified water and is neutral.

And it won’t contain the minerals found in tap water.

Therefore, the cooked porridge is light in color.

However, it is harmless and can be used without any worries.
