Basic Introduction to Pianguan Xiaomi

Pianguan Xiaomi is produced in Pianguan County, Xinzhou City, Shanxi Province, and has a long history of primitive farming and cultivation culture. According to historical records, foxtail millet is the main variety of public grain paid by Pianguan County, and it is kept at around 150000 kilograms per year. In addition, the local people also use millet to make sour Congee. According to the records in the Annals of Pianguan County, during the war years, the owner panned for rice and prepared to put it into the pot. When the war broke out, he was reluctant to abandon it and cook porridge when he came back. As a result, he found that the palatability was better, which has lasted to this day. In the difficult period of "nine droughts in ten years" in the past, the people of Pianguan relied on millet to survive the famine era; Now, Pianguan has become the earliest county in Shanxi Province to promote Zhangza millet, with the largest planting area and the most benefits for farmers. Its yield and benefits have also doubled

What is the nutritional value of Pian Guan Xiaomi

When porridge is boiled, the liquid surface will form a layer of rice husk, which has high nutritional value. It has the effects of harmonizing the stomach, sleeping, exercising, and nourishing the skin, and is a suitable tonic for the elderly, patients, and postpartum women
