Golden Millet Porridge

Eat groats! That’s my message for you today. Millet groats plays the main part today. Let me show you a few facts about it so that you can get to know it a bit better 🙂

Firstly, you should know that millet is obtained from millet seeds, which have been grown for hundreds of years around the world. Millet has a small amount of starch (you can find it e.g. in potatoes) and is rich in well-absorbed vegetable protein, which is why people who avoid meat are so willing to eat it. It perfectly enriches our menu with vitamins and minerals, e.g. B vitamins, iron or copper. Lecithin, which is also present in millet, improves thought processes and equalizes the level of cholesterol in the blood. The big advantage is that millet is gluten-free so it is recommended for people suffering from gluten intolerance or celiac disease. The only downside is probably the high glycemic index (about 70) – that’s why people with diabetes should have it with savory dishes, rather than desserts.

Now that you have learned the benefits of millet, you can use this knowledge in practice. Let’s prepare golden millet! 🙂

Preparation:

I rinsed the groats once or twice under cold running water, then I cookes it in plant-based milk. In the meantime, I added ghee, coconut sugar and flaxseed. I cooked the forest fruit in a separate pot. Then I served the groats in a small bowl, decorated it with forest fruit, sliced banana and nuts.
