Kanji – a fermented rice dish is a breakfast food for many people. A traditional food known for its remarkable gut health benefits, congee rice is a powerhouse of probiotics and is extremely easy to prepare. In short, it’s a great way to detox and rejuvenate your digestive system.

According to experts, this dish works well on the digestive system by improving digestive enzymes. Apart from being satiating and nutritious, it helps treat many problems like indigestion, bloating, leaky gut and poor immune system that many people face. Doctors say that when the ratio of bad microorganisms in your body becomes dominant over good microorganisms, you may face digestive problems.

Since a healthy gut is linked to a strong immune system, regular consumption of congee rice may reduce your chances of falling ill. This blend is rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, which contribute to overall health.

How to make Kanji Rice,

Kanji tastes very similar to another popular dish, curd rice. But the main difference is that rice congee is different from regular curd rice because of the fermentation of the cooked rice.

The ingredients required to make rice kanji are as follows:

cooked rice

Curd

Water

Salt

Green chilly

Coriander

To make rice kanji, soak cooked rice overnight in an earthen pot for fermentation. An earthen vessel is necessary here so that the kanji does not spoil or become poisonous during fermentation. Later, filter the fermented rice water and add one spoon two curds, salt, green chilli and green coriander to it. Before eating rice and kanji for breakfast, you can also add tadka to it as per your taste.

what are probiotics,

Probiotics are microorganisms that can have beneficial effects on or inside your body.

However beneficial microbes like probiotics help control potentially harmful types.

Probiotic products contain selected, beneficial types of microbes to add to the population already living in your body. Many probiotics are oral supplements designed to be put into your stomach. There are some other topical products you can apply to the skin inside body cavities like your nose or genitals. These are all places where beneficial microbes usually live.

According to experts, many probiotic products are formulated with beneficial bacteria and yeast for the purpose of preventing or healing bacterial or yeast infections in different parts of your body, including:

• Atopic dermatitis and acne
