Nutritious Porridge


By Peng's Kitchen (Visit website)



Ever wonder how many types of grains are there in the world? Take a look at this site (http://www.foodsubs.com/Rice.html), you will be amazed by the varieties of rice available besides the usual white grain rice we consume everyday! In fact polished white rice is not as nutritious compare to brown rice and other whole grains as most fibre & minerals have been striped. Therefore to make plain porridge more nutritious, I've added other grains like Buckwheat (??), Millet (??) and Quinoa (pronounced as Keen-Wah). Luckily my boy is not a fussy eater, he finishes all the porridges I've prepared for him :)
