Millet can be roasted before cooking: what every housewife should know

Millet porridge is a very healthy, tasty and satisfying cereal that can be successfully combined with bacon, cutlets, meatballs and salads. But it often happens that when it's ready to cook, the porridge tastes unpleasantly bitter.

One of the reasons why this happens is due to improper preparation of the grain. Experienced housewives know that millet must be rinsed before cooking. This should be done with hot water, not cold. It is boiling water that helps to eliminate bitterness and additionally wash away debris. Rinse the millet until the water is completely clear.

The FoodOboz editorial team also gathered information and found out that millet can be roasted in addition to being washed. They claim that this method works much better.

The fact is that millet, compared to other cereals, can be stored for only a few years, and then bitterness begins to appear. In this case, it is best to remove it by roasting.

When cooking millet, you should also keep in mind the following important nuances:

• Millet should not be boiled until cooked, but until half cooked.
• If you cook millet in water, it is recommended to change the water several times during the cooking process.
• When the millet is cooked, do not rush to open the lid – let the cereal brew.
