Azuki Bean, Barley & Red Date Porridge

Why people make this porridge

Gout is increasingly common in modern life — rich foods, alcohol, seafood, and organ meats all contribute to elevated uric acid. In the early stages, blood tests may show elevated uric acid before any joint symptoms appear. Over time, episodes of sudden, painful joint inflammation — usually starting at the big toe — begin to occur and can worsen with each recurrence. This porridge is a practical dietary habit: easy to make, mild in flavor, and suitable to eat daily or as a regular meal replacement during a flare-up.
