The simplest way to remove sand from Xiaomi

The simplest way to remove sand from Xiaomi is to soak and wash it with clean water. Put the millet into a container, add enough water, gently stir and let it stand for a moment. The sand will sink to the bottom. Pour off the upper layer of water and repeat washing several times until the water is clear. Xiaomi is rich in B vitamins and minerals, but it may be mixed with sand and stones during storage. When washing, it is recommended to use a wide mouthed container with a water volume more than three times that of millet. The stirring action should be gentle to avoid nutrient loss. The first soaking time should be controlled within five minutes, and any floating impurities on the water surface should be promptly removed. If more sand particles are found, a fine mesh sieve can be used to assist in filtration, but the sieve holes should not be too dense to prevent damage to the millet particles.

Due to differences in processing technology, some Xiaomi may attach a small amount of dust, which is difficult to completely remove by washing alone. In this situation, you can lay the Xiaomi flat on a white plate and manually select it with the help of natural light or lighting. The processed wet millet should be dried as soon as possible or cooked directly to avoid mold growth caused by prolonged moisture. It is difficult to remove impurities from Xiaomi with a shell. It is recommended to purchase precision processed products from legitimate channels.

For daily storage of millet, it is recommended to use a sealed container and store it in a cool and dry place. After opening, try to consume it within three months. The washing process before cooking cannot be omitted, as it can remove impurities and reduce residual phytic acid on the surface. Cooking Congee with pumpkin, red dates and other ingredients can improve the nutritional value, but those with weak digestive function need to control the consumption to avoid flatulence. If Xiaomi is found to have an odor or mold, it should be discarded immediately and cannot be continued to be consumed.
