Why people make this rice
A relative brought Nourilo a few packs of chestnut-rice mix back from Japan, where the chestnuts are famously soft, sweet and bright yellow. Plain good chestnuts — Liangxiang, Guilin or Tianjin varieties — are just as delicious. In traditional thinking, the chestnut is called “the fruit of the kidney,” associated with supporting the kidneys, the qi and the stomach. It is considered especially suitable for older adults, and cooking it into rice makes an easy, warming everyday dish.
