Pumpkin contains a lot of nutrients, which is one of the vegetables we often eat in our daily life. It tastes sweet and good, and it is often used as a supplementary food for babies, which can improve resistance and increase vision. Pumpkin not only has high edible value, but also has the effect of moistening the lungs in Chinese medicine. If the child has some cough, you can make some pumpkin porridge for him to drink, which can relieve cough and asthma and reduce the harm of drugs to his body. Moreover, the pectin contained in pumpkin can absorb harmful substances and pathogenic bacteria in the body, protect the stomach and help digestion, which is very suitable for infants with gastrointestinal discomfort.

1. Peel and seed the pumpkin first, then wash it and cut it into pieces for later use.

2. Soak the rice for another 30 minutes after scouring, so that the rice grains can fully absorb water.

3. Put the rice and pumpkin pieces into the pot and add some water.

4. Cook with strong fire first, then switch to medium fire, stir constantly, and mash the blue melon with a spoon until the rice grains and the blue melon are completely cooked.

5. After the rice and water in the pot are boiled with strong fire, turn to low fire quickly, be careful not to let the porridge juice overflow, and then cover the lid slowly. The key is not to cover all the lids tightly, and cook slowly with low fire to make a delicious pumpkin porridge.

6. Add a proper amount of sugar to the cooked pumpkin porridge, and it can be eaten after cooling.

Pumpkin is rich in vitamin C-decomposing enzymes, so it can't be eaten with fruits and vegetables with high vitamin C, otherwise it will affect the body's absorption of vitamin C. However, this enzyme is not very heat-resistant, and it will be destroyed after being cooked, so pumpkin is suitable for cooking and eating, and there are many nutrients preserved. However, some foods are similar to pumpkins, so don't mix them at will to avoid the consequences of food poisoning.
