Is mochi bread a whole grain?

no.

Coarse grains are relative to the refined grains such as refined rice and white flour that we usually eat. They mainly include corn, black rice, sorghum, oats, buckwheat, wheat bran and various dry beans, such as soybeans, green beans, adzuki beans, mung beans, etc. Exquisite desserts like mochi, although some mochi are made with coarse grains such as sesame and whole wheat, they are no longer coarse grains after refined processing, but are refined rice and flour products with high sugar content. They are difficult to digest if you eat too much, so you should try to eat less.

How to store unfinished mochi?

1. If you can finish it in 1-2 days, you can store it in a cool, dark, dry place at room temperature.

2. If you can finish eating it within 3-4 days, it is recommended to put it in a fresh-keeping bag and refrigerate it.

3. Wrap each one with plastic wrap and freeze it in the refrigerator. It can be kept for a month. When you want to eat it, just take it out and bake it in the oven. It tastes better.
