Blueprint: Bone Broth Rice Congee – Healing Herbs, Spices, Adaptogens, & Medicinal Plants

Introduction & Concept

This Bone Broth Rice Congee is a deeply nourishing, gut-healing, and immunity-boosting dish infused with adaptogens, healing herbs, and medicinal plants. Traditionally, congee is an Asian rice porridge used for restorative healing, digestion support, and overall wellness. This version elevates it further by using collagen-rich bone broth, blood sugar-friendly low-GI rice, and a blend of adaptogens and spices for maximum nourishment.

Perfect for recovery, digestion, and longevity, this congee provides:

✅ Easy digestion & gut healing (thanks to slow-cooked rice & bone broth)

✅ Anti-inflammatory & immune support (from turmeric, ginger, and medicinal mushrooms)

✅ Hormonal balance & stress resilience (from ashwagandha & maca)

✅ Deep warmth & comfort (perfect for chilly days, fasting, or healing meals)
