Red rice（赤米）

Cook first
Feed this food cooked.
What kind of food is this?
In its dry state, red rice contains 344kcal, 8.5g of protein, 6.5g of fiber, and 130mg of magnesium per 100g.
The red color comes from tannin-type polyphenols. Polyphenols are a broad group of compounds plants make; some are studied for protecting cells from oxidation by free radicals.
Cooking makes it absorb water, so the per-100g figures become more dilute. Cooked, it has 150kcal and 3.4g of fiber per 100g.
How to serve
Cook it until soft enough to crush with your fingers.

In food-energetics terms
In traditional food therapy, this is classified as 'neutral'—neither warming nor cooling the body.
(Food energetics is a long-standing idea of supporting the body through everyday meals. Treat it as one extra hint alongside the nutrition numbers.)
