Why does rice wine turn yellow?

There are several reasons why rice wine turns yellow:

1. After the glutinous rice is steamed, it is not cooled carefully in water. Some of the glutinous rice is not cooled to the appropriate temperature for adding koji, that is, it is a little too hot. The overheated part is easy to turn yellow. When making glutinous rice wine, avoid overheating when adding koji, as it will make it sour.

2. If the koji powder is not mixed evenly, the part with less koji is easily infected by bacteria, which can also cause yellowing. Especially when you say that the yellow part is sour, it is more likely that the koji powder is not mixed evenly.

What should you pay attention to when drinking rice wine?

When drinking rice wine on an empty stomach, the stomach wall absorbs alcohol much faster than after a meal. At the beginning of drinking, the secretion of gastric juice increases. At this time, gastric acid and alcohol work together to stimulate the gastric mucosa, which can easily cause damage to the stomach.

Rice wine is a chemical beverage, and its ingredients may conflict with western medicine, thus affecting its efficacy or causing physical discomfort. Therefore, the two should not be taken together.

The acidic and toxic substances in spoiled rice wine enter the human gastrointestinal tract, which will have a strong irritating effect on the gastrointestinal mucosa and muscle layer, paralyze the gastrointestinal capillaries, and inhibit the gastrointestinal nerve receptors, weakening gastrointestinal motility, slowing down food digestion and excretion, reducing metabolic function, and causing abdominal pain, bloating, nausea and vomiting.

The older the rice wine, the higher the alcohol content. If you take a bath after drinking this kind of rice wine, the glucose stored in the body will be consumed in large quantities, causing blood sugar to drop and body temperature to drop. At the same time, alcohol inhibits the normal physiological function of the liver, hinders the liver's recovery of glucose storage, causes fatigue in the body, and even leads to hypoglycemic shock.
