RECIPES FOR HEALTHY FOODS: MILLET CEREAL
1 cup hulled millet
3 cups water
1/2 tsp. honey
1/2 cup powdered skim milk
Rinse millet in warm water and drain. Place in a pan of water mixed with powdered skim milk and heat mixture to boiling point. Then simmer for ten minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and burning. Remove from heat and let stand for a half hour or more. Serve with milk, honey, oil or butter - or homemade applesauce. And treat yourself to the most nutritious cereal in the world!
Here\'s another, even better way to make millet cereal (or any other cereal, for that matter).
Place all ingredients in a pan with a tight cover. Use heatproof utensils: pyrex, earthenware or stainless steel, if possible. Put in an electric or gas oven turned to 200, or less, and leave for 34 hours, or longer, if necessary; but the cereal will be ready to eat after about 3 hours. To speed the process, the cereal could be heated to a boiling point before putting into the oven.
This cooking method is superior because of the low temperature, which makes the nutrients - especially the proteins - of millet or other grains more easily assimilable.
Millet is a truly wonderful, complete food. It can rightfully be called the king of all cereals, possibly sharing this distinction with buckwheat. It is high in complete proteins and low in starches. It is very easily digested and never causes gas and fermentation in the stomach, as some other cooked cereals, high in starches, often do. Dr. Harvey Kellogg, famed nutritionist, said that millet is the only cereal that can sustain or support human life when used as the sole item in the diet. Besides complete proteins, millet is rich in vitamins, minerals and important trace elements, such as molybdenum and lecithin.
