Why people make this porridge
Pumpkin is available year-round and punches well above its weight in nutritional value — it is rich in beta-carotene, multiple vitamins, minerals, and pectin. In traditional food therapy it is paired with red dates to make a porridge that is thought to nourish qi and blood, support eye health, and benefit the digestive system with regular use. Millet is the quintessential spleen-nourishing grain in Chinese food medicine — warm, easily digestible, and wonderfully soothing. Together, these three common ingredients make a porridge that is as comforting as it is healthful.
