Tom's Comment
This is simply rice, depending on the region, the quality of the rice can vary. In the olden days where famine is commonplace especially of the peasant class in Northern China, having rice to eat was a big deal (most ate other grains), and a great source of sustenance. Nowadays, it is regarded more as part of a healthy diet rather than being a therapeutic agent.
