How old a baby can eat germ rice? The baby is six months old. When adding complementary food, you can eat germ rice porridge or germ rice paste. Baby's diet structure is relatively simple and needs higher nutrition. Therefore, germ rice has higher nutritional value because it retains the nutritional essence-germ, which is more suitable for growing babies. Germ rice is a "noble in rice" and is known as "rice platinum". During the processing, the rice husk and most of the chaff layers are removed, and 60-80% of the nutrients in rice grains-germ are retained. The germ is rich in vitamin B, vitamin E, oryzanol, protamine, calcium, zinc, manganese, potassium and other nutrients. 2 What is germ rice? Germ rice is classified according to different processing stages and degrees of rice. The rice after rice husk removal is called brown rice, which has higher nutritional value than germ rice and white rice, but it takes a long time to cook, and its taste is rough and difficult to digest. Brown rice is processed continuously, and the bran layer is removed to keep the embryo and endosperm. This is germ rice, which is the intermediate product of brown rice and white rice. After continuing to process brown rice, the cortex and embryo (that is, fine bran) are ground off, and basically only the endosperm is left, which is the white rice or rice we usually eat. Although germ only accounts for about 5% of the weight of rice, it gathers more than 66% of the nutrition of rice, so germ rice has the reputation of "aristocrat in rice". Germ rice is processed from brown rice, but because of the difficulty in processing and high nutritional value, it is several times that of ordinary rice, so the price is relatively high. 3 Efficacy and Function of Germ Rice 1, Promoting Body Development Germ rice has higher nutritional value than ordinary rice. People can absorb rich vitamins and amino acids and various minerals after using it, which can promote human development and enhance human quality. Germ rice is especially suitable for teenagers in their developing period in life, which can prevent stunting and reduce the occurrence of childhood obesity. 2. Brain-nourishing and brain-nourishing is also one of the important functions of germ rice, because germ rice is rich in phospholipids and trace element phosphorus, which are important nutrients that can directly act on the human brain. They can not only promote the regeneration of brain cells, but also improve the activity of brain cells, promote intellectual development, and make people who eat them more and more intelligent.
