Indian sea rice is a natural living "laboratory" in which acetic acid bacteria synthesize sugar and a unique combination of organic acids, vitamins and enzymes. The beneficial properties of Indian sea rice, with regular use, will put all body systems in order.

What is Indian Sea Rice?

This bacterial culture came to Russia from India about a hundred years ago, since then it has had two clarifications: “Indian” and “marine” in the sense of “overseas”. The closest crops to sea rice are tea and kefir fungi.

The therapeutic effect of Indian sea rice is highly valued, the preparation of an infusion from which has long been well known. With the functioning of bacteria in the sweetened liquid, a delicious sparkling drink is obtained.

The origin of these bacteria is estimated to be much earlier than that of kefir and kombucha. It is known that the ancient Romans used it during military campaigns. Roman soldiers used the properties of this drink to quench their thirst and to prevent infectious diseases.

People who keep the mushroom in the kitchen are convinced that this natural product can replace many medicines, which often cause serious harm to internal organs with their side effects.

The enzymatic activity of bacteria in the nutrient medium is the reason for the beneficial properties of sea rice. Acids, vitamins and enzymes in the composition of the infusion are created during the processing of sugars and make this drink healing. The infusion of the fungus exhibits an immunomodulatory effect and works favorably on the entire body.

Regulates digestion and normalizes metabolism due to the active action of enzymes in the infusion, which regulate biochemical processes in the body.
Reduces sugar levels and counteracts diabetes with the help of amylase, an enzyme that breaks down starch.
It normalizes well-being and the level of vitality due to the content of folic acid, which is actively involved in the synthesis of certain amino acids.
Reduces blood pressure, heals blood vessels and prevents the development of atherosclerosis.
Supports the nervous system, since vitamin B12 and folic acid are responsible for the transmission of nerve impulses.
It has a diuretic effect, removes stones with the help of the alkalizing effect of citric acid.
Cleanses the liver and eliminates toxins thanks to glucuronic acid, which neutralizes poisonous elements.
Favorably works with diseases of cartilage and joints, since the infusion contains an anti-inflammatory complex.
It slows down the development of malignant tumors by exposing diseased cells to powerful antioxidants in the form of chlorogenic and coumaric acids.
Counteracts heart diseases thanks to the content of coenzyme Q10, which actively regenerates heart muscle cells.

Sea rice can replace antibiotics in case of inflammation of the respiratory system, helps cleanse the skin and restore the body after a serious illness.

There are two sizes of Indian mushroom: large and small. The medicinal properties of both species are identical, since they produce the same substances, however, there are slight differences. A mushroom with large grains works more slowly, and the taste of its infusion is softer with a milky-fruity tinge. The small mushroom is more active, its infusion has a sharper taste.

Those who want to take advantage of the medicinal properties of this fungus are wondering how to grow sea rice from scratch. You need to understand that this is a living colony of beneficial bacteria that function under certain conditions.

It is recommended, if possible, to know in advance not only where to buy Indian sea rice, but how to grow and store it. Find out what kind of environment marine rice lives in, how to care for it in order to get the maximum health benefits.

To make a sea rice infusion, pour filtered warm water into a glass jar. For each liter of liquid, dissolve 2 tablespoons of sugar - this will provide the mushroom with a nutrient medium.

Rinse 2-4 tablespoons of the fungus with cool water and place in a jar. Additionally, you can put washed dried fruits: 5 raisins, 2-3 dried apricots, prunes or apple slices per liter of liquid.

Cover the vessel with the mushroom with gauze and remove from sunlight in a warm place at 25 degrees. The drink for ingestion will be ready in 2 days. After that, strain it into another container, put it in the refrigerator and apply it within two days. Rinse the sea rice granules and refill with sweet water for the next batch.

It is not recommended to mix the granules directly with sugar, this can provoke the death of bacteria and the infusion will not work.
Use a stainless steel spoon for mixing, other metals may chemically react with products that are released from sea rice granules.
Cosmetic recipes may require a saturated solution after a week of infusion. This infusion is more acidic, it does not need to be drunk, use only for external use.
Do not allow the temperature of the nutrient medium of Indian rice to drop below 18 degrees, the development of bacteria stops and the fungus may die.

If you need to leave for a long time, drain all the liquid and rinse the granules. Then dry almost dry and close in a glass container with a lid. Store sea rice in the refrigerator for up to a month and rinse again before using.

How to apply

The prepared infusion can be used by adults and children. Favorably characterize Indian sea rice reviews of doctors, according to which there is no addiction to it, it is suitable for long-term use. A noticeable effect is manifested with prolonged use 2-3 times a day with a dosage of 100-150 ml for adults and 50-100 ml for children.

Contraindications

Please note that the benefits and harms of sea rice are determined by its dosage, Indian rice is not a cure for all ailments. For serious health problems, consult a doctor, he can give you expert advice based on your health condition and the ingredients of the drink.

Caution is required to apply to people with diagnosed stones in the genitourinary system. The infusion of the fungus exhibits a noticeable diuretic effect and can provoke the release of salt deposits. Patients with type 1 diabetes are not recommended to use the infusion, since the composition contains numerous sugars and enzymes.

It should be remembered that the infusion of Indian sea rice is a multi-component liquid that can weaken or accelerate the action of medications. If you are using any medications, you should consult your doctor before using the infusion.

Growing this mushroom is not as difficult as it seems at first glance, but some skill and diligence will still be required from you.

First you need to get a dozen grains. This is enough to increase the necessary reserves later. The mushroom does not grow quickly, and in order to grow it, sometimes you have to wait more than one month. Sometimes the growth rate of Indian sea rice depends on the quality of the water.

First of all, put the grains in a jar with a volume of about 200-250 ml. It can be an old mayonnaise jar that you have kept from ancient times, or something similar.

It is important that the dishes are glass. Of course, the jar is thoroughly washed. However, no detergents can be used - neither dishwashing detergents that have become familiar, nor household or any other soap, nor soda. If you do not heed this advice, you will have a lot of problems with the fungus - it really does not like an alkaline environment, even minimal saturation.

So, you have to wash the jar with water, and for a long time and carefully. Then rinse it with boiling water and sterilize. The method of sterilization is known - hold the jar over the steam.

In a sense, this resembles the procedure for preparing pickles and compotes. Therefore, after a water session, the container must be thoroughly dried. Try not to let anything else get into it.

Prepare a clean cotton gauze. Dry it in the sun or on the balcony so that direct rays do not fall on it. The fabric should not have foreign odors.

The next step is to pour the contents with grains into the prepared dishes and add cool water. Here, too, there are nuances. Chlorinated water is not suitable, although it is sometimes used. In the presence of chlorine in the water, the formation of useful compounds is disrupted, which is sometimes unsafe.

It is best to use spring, purified drinking water or water from artesian wells. However, the last option is not always successful, because you do not know the chemical composition of such water. Also do not use carbonated and mineral water.

Be that as it may, the water should be allowed to stand for a while, so open the bottles and bottles with it in advance. In the case of ordinary water, you need to take only the upper part from the container, then boil it, cool it and let it settle again.

Fill the jar of mushroom almost to the top. Add five pieces of raisins or a couple of pieces of dried apricots there. Cover with gauze folded in four layers. Now the mushroom should grow.

You need to store the product in a dark cabinet where direct sunlight does not enter, so as not to cause active fermentation reactions. An ordinary kitchen cabinet is ideal for this. It is also important that the place is not damp. The fungus, oddly enough, does not like this. You can not put it near the stove or heating appliances, grills and microwaves.

Sometimes a jar of sea rice is placed in a box and placed on a windowsill. But it is better to do this in autumn or spring and in a temperate climate. In general, it is quite difficult to find an ideal place - usually it all depends on the characteristics of a particular room, its energy flows.

Keep the mushroom in a jar for two days. At the end of the second day - in the evening - carefully drain the infusion through gauze to hold the grains. Without transferring them to another dish, rinse with cool water (the rules for choosing it were mentioned above).

Transfer the washed gauze seeds back to the jar, pour water again, add raisins or dried apricots. You have already increased the fungus, now you can even drink a weak infusion. True, it does not have all the required properties, but it is still quite suitable for prevention.

To achieve the primary effect, you need to get a tablespoon of Indian sea rice or two. In order to avoid interruptions in the consumption of the drink, infuse two jars at once, alternating their contents. Drinking a drink requires at least 300 ml per day.

Here are the proportions. The grains of Indian sea rice, necessary for the preparation of 1 liter of infusion, require 4 tbsp. spoons. From products, in addition to raisins or dried apricots, you can add other dried fruits or sugar. On a liter jar you need 10-15 raisins. Separately, the so-called syrup is prepared (3 tablespoons of granulated sugar per 1 liter of cool water), with which the mushroom is poured, and then the jar is covered with gauze.

If the concentration of the solution seems unpleasant to you and you cannot drink it, then use another - sparing - recipe. For 1 liter of pure water take 2 tbsp. spoons of sea rice and the same amount of granulated sugar. From the latter, a "syrup" is prepared, where 3-5 pieces of raisins or 2 dried apricots are added. In a couple of days your drink will be ready.

Remember also that it is not at all necessary to force yourself to drink an infusion of Indian sea rice in such quantities as this or that recipe prescribes. Sometimes a smaller amount is sufficient. Perhaps your body requires only a prophylactic dose, which, as a rule, is half that.

It has been known for a long time, it was brought to Russia by sea in the 19th century from India. This is probably why the product, which looks like rice, received such an unusual name. In other countries, it can be found under the names of chibi or posca.

A drink obtained with the help of Indian sea rice is used for medicinal purposes.

Even in the last century, scientists proved the benefits of sea rice for the body, although in the East the drink obtained with its help has been used for medicinal purposes for many hundreds of years. As a result of the vital activity of various microorganisms in the nutrient medium, alcoholic and acetic fermentation occurs simultaneously, therefore the infusion contains a large amount of organic acids and other useful substances.

Thus, the drink contains acetic, pyruvic, oxalic, citric, glucuronic and other acids, a small amount of ethyl alcohol, vitamins, polysaccharides, enzymes, tannins and other substances. Their content is not high, but with regular use of the drink, they have a beneficial effect on the entire body.

Sea rice infusion stimulates metabolic processes and helps to remove accumulated harmful substances from the body. In addition, it has a positive effect on the functioning of the digestive tract, improving motility, as well as preventing the reproduction of pathogenic microflora. Thanks to these properties, Indian sea rice helps to cleanse the body, improve bowel function and get rid of excess weight. Sea rice is advised to have for everyone who wants to lose weight, since a drink based on it contains enzymes that break down fats, in addition, when it is taken, the feeling of hunger decreases.

Due to the normalization of the intestines and the cleansing of the body of toxins and toxins, the condition of the skin improves, its fat balance is restored, and it goes away.

The drink has a weak diuretic effect, so it is useful to take it for arterial hypertension and other diseases of the cardiovascular system. It is recommended to drink it even when, since the infusion of sea rice contains substances that have an antiseptic effect. Infusion can be drunk by pregnant women in order to get rid of edema.

The use of the drink helps to strengthen the immune system, so traditional medicine advises paying special attention to it in the winter. Indian sea rice is also useful for the nervous system. With the constant use of infusion, working capacity increases, it is useful to drink it with increased fatigue, chronic fatigue syndrome, insomnia and depression. There is an improvement in the condition of patients suffering from inflammatory diseases of the joints (sciatica, arthritis, etc.). As part of the infusion of sea rice, there are also antioxidants, which helps to slow down the aging of the body.

Indian sea rice is also used for cosmetic purposes. It can be used as a cleanser, moisturizer and toner. It effectively frees the skin from dead cells, sebum, under the influence of the substances that make up the infusion of sea rice, the pores narrow, the work of the sebaceous glands normalizes, fine wrinkles are smoothed out. With its regular use, the skin becomes well-groomed and acquires a healthy appearance.

For an adult, in order to improve the body, it is enough to drink 200-300 ml of a drink per day, children can be given up to 100 ml of infusion. Some time after the start of administration, slight digestive disorders (thinning and frequent stools) and increased urination may be observed. But these side effects usually disappear after a few weeks. It is recommended to drink an infusion of sea rice half an hour before a meal or in between meals.

If you still have a ready-made drink (and it is practically unstorable), add it to the bath, you can also do a foot bath with it. The infusion is suitable for use as a mouthwash for preventive and therapeutic purposes.

Rules for the care of sea rice

The drink is prepared in a glass jar. To create a nutrient medium, it is recommended to use purified unboiled water, sugar (cane can be used) is added at the rate of 3-4 tablespoons per 1 liter of liquid. If desired, you can add dried fruits (raisins, dried apricots, prunes) to the water. At the bottom of the container you need to put 4 tablespoons of Indian sea rice (per 1 liter of liquid) and pour the prepared nutrient medium. Sugar cannot be poured directly into a jar of grains of sea rice, it must be completely dissolved in water. The neck of the jar must be covered with gauze folded in several layers and secured with an elastic band to prevent insects that are attracted to its sour smell from entering the drink. Do not leave a jar of sea rice near heat sources or in direct sunlight, as the drink may turn sour.

Rice is infused for 1-3 days (depending on taste preferences), after which it can be drunk after straining. The higher the ambient temperature, the faster the fermentation processes. Therefore, in the hot season, it is recommended to drink a two-day drink.

Once every 2-3 days (but not less often), Indian sea rice should be thoroughly washed with clean water at room temperature. To do this, you should use a sieve and a spoon (shovel), preferably silicone or wooden, since contact with metals is undesirable in this case. The container in which the infusion is prepared must also be thoroughly washed and then rinsed so that no detergent remains on the walls.

The harm of Indian sea rice

The drink obtained with its help has practically no contraindications. With its excessive use or the intake of overdone sour infusion, digestive disorders may occur. Individual intolerance to sea rice is also not excluded.

Perhaps the only restriction for taking a drink is the presence, since sugar is needed to prepare the nutrient medium.

Indian sea rice is a living creature, and under adverse conditions of detention, it can get sick and even die.

Signs of a fungal disease

1) It ceases to "grow", that is, increase in volume.

2) The infusion becomes weak, unsaturated.

3) This is followed by the appearance of an unpleasant smell of the finished infusion.

4) Some of the grains die - they float or turn into whitish flakes and a cloudy sediment at the bottom of the jar.

Whitish flakes" are either decayed, dead "grains" of sea rice, or small young overgrown ones. Some "rice" die, this is natural. In the process of insisting, they float up to the throat of the jar and do not sink. used raisins. Otherwise, at the next refueling, the jars may break up into "flakes". In order to get rid of dead, decayed "rice", you need to rinse the sea rice more thoroughly after draining the finished infusion. The sieve in which the flour is sifted is optimal, and washing sea rice in it under clean running water for 2-3 minutes.
In addition, removing these dead rice grains, whether intact or broken, is essential to keep the rest of the marine rice healthy. We recommend draining the finished infusion through gauze folded four times (a simple filter) - this prevents the “flakes” from getting into the finished infusion of sea rice. They cannot harm your health, this is done solely for the aesthetics of the finished infusion.

If Indian sea rice is "sick", you can try it cure:

1. Completely drain the infusion.

2. Rinse sea rice well under running water.

3. Fill the jar again and drain the infusion after one day.

So repeat two or three times.

Recovery of sea rice

Ø Keep track of the temperature where the jar is . The optimum temperature is 23-25 degrees Celsius. If this temperature is exceeded, the infusion of the Indian marine fungus can peroxide, then it is advisable to drain the finished infusion not after three days, but earlier. In the event of a decrease in temperature, the sea rice itself can freeze and in three days do not give the infusion sufficient saturation, and then the Indian sea rice can begin to die. In this case, it is recommended to put the jar of sea rice in a warm place.

Ø Remove dead rice grains which floated and did not sink to the bottom of the jar.

Ø Follow up keeping proportions: per liter jar you need 3-4 tbsp. l. sea rice, 3 tbsp. l. sugar, 10-15 raisins.

In most cases, sea rice "recovers" after two or three such daily refills.
The recovery of sea rice can be considered to have occurred if the sea rice begins to grow, that is, increase in volume, and the unpleasant odor disappears.

Rice stopped growing

1. The recipe or type of dried fruit has been changed. Even the variety of raisins has an effect. The quality of the water used is of particular importance.

2. It was cold outside and inside the house. Indian sea rice is very sensitive to ambient temperature. The optimum temperature for it is considered to be 23-25 degrees Celsius. We recommend putting the jar in a warm place. You can also bring a warm place closer to sea rice, for example, place an electric kettle nearby, which you use all the time.

A dense whitish formation appeared at the throat of the jar, similar to Kombucha.

The main reasons for the appearance of a dense formation at the throat of the jar are:

1. If sea rice has been stored in the refrigerator for a long time - more than a month. (Many dead ones appeared among the grains of sea rice).
2. If the infusion from the jar is not drained for a very long time (all the sugar was processed and excess acids began to corrode the grains of sea rice).
3. If the jar of sea rice is left in a cold place for too long, below the life temperature of sea rice. (At the same time, some rice grains die, jars float up to the throat, where they are).

In all these cases, the remaining healthy sea rice continues to work, forming acids and saturating the infusion with them. Under the influence of these acids, dead grains of sea rice gradually decompose, turning first into a jelly-like state, and then forming a dense film, sometimes reaching up to a centimeter in thickness. We remind you that in the process of infusion, it is necessary to remove dead grains of sea rice and drain the finished infusion in a timely manner.
This "film" is to be removed from the jar, with measures to restore sea rice after its disease.
In this case, you need to do this:

1. Carefully inspect your sea rice. If at the bottom of the jar there are still grains of sea rice in their usual form, you can try to cure them. How to do this, read above in the text. Of course, you will have to grow the amount of sea rice you need again.
2. If there is a jelly-like infusion (mass) in a jar of sea rice, and grains of sea rice are not visible at the bottom of the can, there is nothing to save and you will have to acquire a new portion of sea rice, following the instructions more carefully in the future.

In a jar of sea rice, the infusion became jelly-like, thick.

The infusion of sea rice should in no case be thick, jelly-like.
The appearance of such an infusion usually leads to a violation of the instructions:

1. Perestoyanie infusion with the death of grains of sea rice;

2. Keeping a jar of sea rice in a cold place;

3. Not removing dead grains of sea rice during the infusion process (with their decomposition);

4. Poor rinsing of sea rice before filling the jar.

It is impossible to use jelly-like infusion in any form: neither inside, nor for cosmetic and other purposes.
If you have noticed such changes recently and are sure that there are still grains of sea rice in the jar (and you do not see that they have decomposed completely), then you can try to save the sea rice. First of all, you need to immediately drain the spoiled infusion, rinse the sea rice well and fill the jar again, following the instructions. After two or three hours, remove with a slotted spoon those rice grains that have surfaced and do not sink (they are at the throat of the jar all the time - dead). After one day, drain the infusion without using it and fill the jar again. Put double the amount of raisins in it and put the jar in a warm place.
Follow the advice on restoring marine rice after it has fallen ill. In the future, proceed as usual to do according to the instructions. "

Floating rice grains are not dead, they just contain a bubble of carbon dioxide. To activate it, add 1/4 tablet of calcium gluconate and a little soda, a lump the size of a pea, to the dressing of water with sugar. All dissolve and pour. Rice pops like crazy. You can also add half a clean eggshell when insisting. He likes hard water, such as from a spring or a well. Checked many times.

How to Grow Rice Mushroom from Indian Sea Rice

We bought sea rice, brought the purchased sourdough product home, but how to grow drinking mushroom at home? Before you prepare an infusion based on Indian sea rice, you must first propagate and grow the rice fungus. When growing a sea mushroom at the initial stage of reproduction, it grows from small grains about 5 millimeters in size and turns into large large flakes-grains up to 5 centimeters, resembling translucent ice floes in appearance.

To prepare the first sourdough from Indian sea rice for growing a drinkable sea mushroom, the sourdough will require:

sea rice - 4 tablespoons;
