Mulberry, Hawthorn and Glutinous Rice Congee

Why people make this congee

Fresh mulberries are just coming into the market, though the peak is still a month or two off. Nourilo likes them because they’re cheap when in season and are traditionally associated with nourishing the liver and brightening the eyes. This mulberry, hawthorn and glutinous rice congee is his pick for those with fatty-liver concerns, and for the dizziness, blurry vision, restless sleep, ringing ears, achy lower back or early greying that traditional thinking links to liver-and-kidney depletion.
