Coix lachryma-jobi seed can inhibit striated muscle, which is a natural product for beauty and wrinkle removal. For people with spleen and stomach deficiency and cold, wrinkled face and dull complexion, it is suggested to cook porridge with yam, jujube and millet, or fry barley and grind it into powder to take.

Coix seed can promote the metabolism of blood and water in the body, has diuretic and detumescence effects, and can also help defecation, so it helps to lose weight.

Coix seed is rich in water-soluble fiber, which can adsorb bile salts (responsible for digesting fat), make the absorption rate of fat in the intestine worse, and then reduce blood lipid and blood sugar.

Step 5 fight cancer
Coix seed ester and linoleic acid are very important anticancer components, and can also reduce the side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy for tumor patients. Clinically, it is generally recommended that tumor patients use 30 ~ 50g of raw coix seed, soak it in clear water for 3 ~ 4 hours, and cook it twice a day for several months, which will have obvious therapeutic effect.

People with poor spleen and stomach often feel loss of appetite and decreased digestive ability in summer.

It is a good diet food, suitable for people with weak spleen and stomach.

3. Why does coix seed smell musty?
Job's tears have no such taste or musty smell, because they have not been soaked. We soak Job's tears just because they are dry, so that we can fully absorb water and cook more easily. Although it was just bought, it was moldy before it was bought. At this time, even if you vacuum or keep fresh, it won't help. So it's still your own problem, and there's the variety problem.
How to distinguish and choose fresh coix seed;
When you smell fresh coix seed, it smells like rice. The fresher it is, the clearer it smells. Because the fragrance won't last long. The barley ground in Pisces on that day was placed in the room, and the room was filled with strong barley fragrance. By the next day, the smell was obviously dispersed. Moreover, coix seed needs to be dried for another day before grinding, which can improve the integrity coefficient of coix seed particles. After the rice mill is shelled, there will be temperature. At that time, sealed bags could not be used, and only breathable woven bags could be used. Otherwise, the temperature of barley will suffocate barley. Therefore, as long as Job's tears are tasteless or have no unusual taste (musty or spicy), you can eat them.
Second, put one in your mouth to see if it is dry enough. Dried coix seed will be fresher than wet coix seed (however, Pisces wants to tell you that it is not excluded that some coix seeds are dried after being wet. This kind of coix seed is not only stale, but may even affect health, so please pay special attention). Generally speaking, when barley is wet, there will be no such crushing bite.
Of course, if the above conditions are not met, it means that Coix seed is good. The quality of coix seed depends on its essence (variety) to a greater extent. As far as I know, there are coix seed in Guizhou, Guangxi, Liaoning and other places, and there are differences. In contrast, my home's coix seed granules are the smallest, but in terms of quality, I believe that after you taste them, you will naturally have a judgment. I hope everyone can eat fresh, healthy, pure, natural, nutritious and delicious coix seed!
