Are glutinous rice and glutinous rice the same?

I believe many people have a question in life, that is, are the glutinous rice and glutinous rice we usually come into contact with the same? In fact, they can be said to be the same, just with different names in different regions, but the nutritional value is relatively high.

1. Jiangmi is a kind of glutinous rice. Glutinous rice is divided into indica glutinous rice and japonica glutinous rice. Japonica glutinous rice is Jiangmi, which has a slender appearance. Indica glutinous rice is round glutinous rice, also called round Jiangmi. Jiangmi is long and slender in shape, while glutinous rice is short and thick in shape. They are one of the most commonly consumed grains at home. Because of its fragrant, glutinous and smooth taste, it is often used to make delicious snacks and is loved by everyone. In many places, there is a custom of eating rice cakes during festivals. The Yuanxiao (Chinese rice dumplings) that people eat during the Lantern Festival (the fifteenth day of the first lunar month) are also made from glutinous rice flour.

2. Glutinous rice is the husked rice. It is called glutinous rice in southern China and Jiangmi in the north. Glutinous rice is the main raw material for making sticky snacks such as rice dumplings, eight-treasure porridge, and various desserts. Glutinous rice is also the main raw material for brewing laozao (sweet rice wine). Glutinous rice contains protein, fat, carbohydrates, calcium, phosphorus, iron, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, niacin and starch, etc. It is rich in nutrients and is a warm and strong tonic food. It has the effects of replenishing qi, strengthening the spleen and stomach, and stopping sweating. It has a certain effect on alleviating poor appetite, abdominal distension and diarrhea.

3. Glutinous rice is a mild tonic that has the effects of replenishing deficiency, nourishing blood, strengthening the spleen and warming the stomach, and stopping sweating. It is suitable for nausea, loss of appetite, diarrhea caused by spleen and stomach deficiency and cold, and sweating, shortness of breath and weakness, and abdominal distension during pregnancy caused by qi deficiency. Modern scientific research shows that glutinous rice contains protein, fat, carbohydrates, calcium, phosphorus, iron, vitamin B and starch, and is a warming and strengthening product. The starch contained in it is branched starch, so it is difficult to digest and hydrolyze in the stomach and intestines.
