One day I found a pack of various grains in super market. It said ‘Rejuvenating concoction’ Wow! Is it?
It is for cooking togather with 4 liter water into soup. In stead decocting magic remedy, I examine their taste one by one.
The pack has11 kinds of grains and seeds in it.

Upper from left, red rice(B), white rice(B), brown rice(A)
Middle, brown sticky rice(A), job’s tears(A), barley(A), sorghum(A)
Lower, wheat germ(C), black sesame powder(C), oats(C), lotus seed(A)
A group need to be soaked with water over night.
B group no need to be soaked but cooked from cold water.
C group can be cooked in short time.
