Mild health benefits of rice koji sweet wine and grain rice stone fruit drink

        In today's era where "less burden, real food" has become a dietary keyword, starch is no longer just a taboo presence. For those who are sensitive to the gastrointestinal tract or want to reduce gluten intake, moderate amounts of rice and natural grains are relatively mild choices. This issue of 'Gourmet Column' will demonstrate how to prepare a healthy drink for yourself and your family in a simple way. Welcome everyone to do it together!

        Three major health benefits of rice koji sweet wine

        1. Promote metabolism: The vitamin B group and fermentation enzymes in rice koji can assist the body in converting nutrients into energy and strengthening metabolic cycles.

        2. Improve gastrointestinal digestion: Rice yeast fermentation breaks down the starch in rice into glucose, making it easier to digest and relatively friendly to people with sensitive digestive systems.

        3. Natural fermented sweetness, zero burden: The sweetness of sweet wine comes from the decomposition of starch by yeast, without the need for sugar or alcohol. The taste is mild, smooth, and easy to drink.
