Can Someone Tell Me How They Get Both Prebiotics And Probiotics In Their Diets

In my young days whenever after dinner cooked rice is left over, mom soak it in drinking water and every morning before noon she will mix that rice and little butter milk with gingily ( this) oil and make me drink. This regimen strictly followed in summer season when day temperatures hover between 33 to 42 or 44 deg C.

It not only kept the system cool and helped in many other ways. At that time the word biotic - pre or pro - not known to me.

But then, later years I understood the values behind our eating left over rice in the manner I described above. Great our ancestors knowledge of human body vs food. Only difference is the same think taught to us under a different name.

Through our growing years, we used to see mom make this with leftover rice, but she used to eat it on her own & never gave to husband and kids - so I think even my mom's gen thought that it was something that's leftover and preserved with drinking water and not fit for "office/school going people of the family" !!

My mom still eats leftover rice from night in the morning!

After learning about biodiversity of the gut, I asked my parents exactly what they used to do with the leftover rice. And learnt this rice kanji "recipe".

Note - We dont boil/heat in the morning, we only add warm or cold stuff to it so that we dont kill the good bacteria! You can eat with buttermilk/curd or lime pickle and green chillies ! If you eat onions, you can add some chopped raw onions to this.

oooooh, soaking and eating left over rice. Who would have thought.

Thank you for this small story. It transports us back to a different time and place.

Mothers are self-sacrificing. A good chunk of them at least.

I love eating anything with lime pickle, green chilies and onions.

Who knew eating healthy was yummy too!
