“Five-Nut Oil Tea” The term “oil tea” originates from “tea oil,” also known as “camellia seed oil,” and refers to a therapeutic soup-like dish. According to *The Medical Cases of Wang*, “A paste made by mixing tea oil with cooked flour is called ‘oil tea.’ Adding five kinds of nuts can cure all ailments.” Selling oil tea involves using tin to craft a kettle that is large-bellied with a long spout, featuring an opening at the top, a lid, and shaped like a big gourd. It is wrapped in cloth for warmth, with a soft strap on top so it can be carried over the shoulder, making it convenient to walk the streets and alleys or hawk in busy markets and entertainment venues.
Rice grains consist of various parts including the husk, pericarp, seed coat, aleurone layer, subaleurone layer, endosperm, and embryo. Brown rice refers to rice from which only the husk has been removed, retaining all other parts. Modern nutritional science has found that the bran and germ portions of brown rice are rich in vitamin B and vitamin E, which can enhance the body’s immune function, promote blood circulation, and help alleviate feelings of depression and irritability, leaving one feeling energized. In addition, brown rice contains higher levels of trace elements such as potassium, magnesium, zinc, iron, and manganese, which are beneficial in preventing cardiovascular diseases and anemia. It also retains a large amount of dietary fiber, which can promote the proliferation of beneficial intestinal bacteria, accelerate intestinal peristalsis, soften stools, and prevent constipation and colon cancer. The dietary fiber can also bind with cholesterol in bile, aiding in its excretion, thereby helping individuals with high blood lipids to lower their cholesterol levels. Therefore, the nutritional value of brown rice is significantly superior to that of refined white rice. With the popularization of nutritional science knowledge, brown rice has gained increasing attention and popularity, and is regarded as a remedy against “diseases of civilization.”
