苏颂说：浙江人叫它红莲米。江南地区多产白黍，偶尔有红色的，被称为赤虾米。
寇宗奭说：丹黍的皮是红色的，米粒是黄色的。只能用来煮粥，不能用来做饭，因为粘性大，难以消化分离。
李时珍说：穗成熟时颜色发红，所以归属于火行。北方人用它来酿酒、制作糕点。
【气味】味甘，性微寒，无毒。孙思邈说：性微温。
孟诜说：性温，有小毒。不可与蜂蜜和葵菜同食。

Kou Zongshi stated: The husk of Dan Shu (Red Broomcorn Millet) is red, while the grain is yellow. It can only be used for making porridge, not rice, as it is sticky and difficult to separate/digest.
Li Shizhen stated: The ears turn red when ripe, thus it belongs to the Fire element. People in the north use it to brew wine and make cakes.
[Flavor and Properties] Sweet, slightly cold, non-toxic. Sun Simiao stated: Slightly warm.
Meng Shen stated: Warm, slightly toxic. Do not consume together with honey or Malva verticillata (Okra/Spring Vegetable).

Stalks and Roots
[Flavor and Properties] Pungent, hot, slightly toxic.
