Millet - A Healthy Alternative to Rice

Millet - A Healthy Alternative to Rice

======================================

 

There are about 12 kinds of millets sold here in our nearby market in

Osaka.

 

These two photos are the commonly known varieties, although I do not

know their names.

Below two photos are the imported varieties from Southeast Asian

countries.

Although millet is often considered a bird feed, it is generally used

as human food. Millets are packed full of nutrients. It comes in

various shapes and colors, but it's commonly available as pearled and

hulled in nearby stores.

 

Millet contains various mineral nutrients such as manganese,

tryptophan, magnesium, and phosphorus, with high calories. A cup of

cooked millet provides 26.4% of the daily value for magnesium and 24%

daily value for phosphorus.

 

1. Like all other grains, rinse millet thoroughly under running water.

2. Add 1 part of millet to 2½ parts boiling water. You can add broth

to taste.

3. When the water is absorbed, turn down the heat, cover and simmer

for about 30 minutes.

4. When it's finished, you'll get soft and light grains like rice.

 

If you want the millet to be creamier, stir it frequently, and add a

little extra liquid during cooking, and you'll get a dish that

resembles rice porridge or mashed potatoes. You can add any flavor to

it.

 

For a crispy texture, you can roast the millet grain before boiling.

You can add some vegetables, chicken, and any other beans to have

highly acceptable taste and aroma.

 

Millet makes a delicious alternative to rice, potatoes, and oats.

 

You can grind the millet and mix it with baking powder for your

breakfast bread. You can also use the grinded millet together with

some seasoned-flavored fruits to make cake.

 

Millet is more than any alternative to the common grains because of

its valuable nutrients.

 

Millet is known to protect your heart by lowering cholesterol

contents in the blood. Millet is also recommended for asthma and

migraine patients. Millet is known as brain rejuvenator in Japan.

 

Is it true that people who ate millet during the World War II are

more talented? This is a comparison with today's young generation

eating lots of junk foods. Someone told us that a millet diet can

prevent gallstone as well as breast cancer and some cancerous

diseases. Now isn't that good news?

Hello,

 

I have 2 questions, please:

1. Why all grains must be rinsed?

2.

Does millet have a high starch content?

I have problems with starch till the point of eliminating grains from my diet,

but I miss them.
