Purple rice is a kind of rice, named after the slender purple rice grains. There are two kinds of purple rice: inner ultraviolet white, not waxy, and inner and outer purple. Purple rice is fragrant, oily and soft. Purple rice has high nutritional value and medicinal value, and has many functions such as enriching blood, invigorating spleen, regulating middle energizer and treating neurasthenia. Purple rice is more precious because of its various advantages and low yield.
Purple rice nourishes yin and kidney, improves eyesight and nourishes blood, and is a confidante. Beans have more benefits. Their nutritional value is comparable to that of meat, but there is no cholesterol in meat. Even fat is an unsaturated fatty acid-that is, you never have to worry about gaining weight by eating it.
Generally speaking, rice is divided into ordinary white rice (brown rice and polished rice) and special rice (including colored rice and fragrant rice). The nutritional components of common white rice are basically the same, and its main components are starch, protein and vitamins.
Special rice is more suitable for pregnant women, the elderly and children, and can effectively supplement nutrition. Among them, black rice and purple rice are more common in colored rice, and there is also a small amount of output in Redmi. Their nutritional value is 30% higher than that of ordinary rice, and their protein content is 30% higher, and their fatty acids and vitamins are also higher. More importantly, they are rich in trace elements such as iron, zinc, manganese and copper. The output of these kinds of rice is relatively small, so the "value" is high, and often a catty can be sold above 10 yuan, or even dozens of yuan.
