Today, to fight extra pounds, people are increasingly using such folk remedies that no one in Russia had the slightest idea about before. One of these agents used to treat and prevent many diseases is called rice or Indian mushroom.
Thanks to an enzyme that breaks down fats and has the name lipase, rice mushroom in recent years has become almost a panacea for everyone who wants to lose extra pounds. However, this living organism, which by definition is a rice mushroom, helps not only with obesity.
The benefits of rice mushroom
It has been officially proven that this remedy is very effective in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases, pneumonia, a number of colds, and furunculosis. In addition, the use of rice mushroom is especially recommended for people suffering from kidney stones.
However, there are also contraindications. So, a drink made from rice mushroom (rice kvass) is not recommended for people suffering from stomach or duodenal ulcers, high acidity and diabetes mellitus.
Proper cultivation of rice mushroom
The cultivation of rice mushroom is somewhat remotely similar to the cultivation of the famous kombucha, which was famous in Soviet times. The only difference is that instead of tea, in this case, pure, unboiled water, sugar and dried fruits are used.
After purchasing a rice mushroom starter culture in a specialized store (in appearance, this starter culture resembles pieces of white coral), it must be soaked in water. To prepare rice kvass, it is enough to use one tablespoon of the starter culture per half a liter of water.
As stated above, rice mushroom is not the only ingredient in the drink. It is also necessary to add and thoroughly dissolve two tablespoons of brown cane sugar in the water (you can also use ordinary granulated sugar). A small handful of raisins or some dried apricots should be added as a top dressing for the mushroom. However, any dried fruit is suitable for feeding.
At the first stage, the rice mushroom "grows" for two days (in the winter months - three days), giving the drink an original, soft taste. After the expiration of this period, the drink is ready for use. In order not to damage the delicate, jelly-like structure of the rice mushroom, pour the drink into another container very carefully, using a fine sieve or cheesecloth.
After preparing the first portion of rice kvass, the mushroom can be used again. For the next portion of the miraculous drink, rice is again poured with water in the required proportion, sugar and dried fruits are added. An important nuance: it is better not to reuse dried fruits; fresh should be added to each new portion.
