The picture above shows my very own self-mixed rice specially for my son. It contains organic brown rice, red rice, organic pearl barley, tri-colour organic quinoa, organic millet.
Millet is highly nutritious, non-glutinous and like buckwheat and quinoa, is not an acid forming food so is soothing and easy to digest. In fact, it is considered to be one of the least allergenic and most digestible grains available and it is a warming grain so will help to heat the body in cold or rainy seasons and climates.
Millet is tasty, with a mildly sweet, nut-like flavor and contains a myriad of beneficial nutrients. It is nearly 15% protein, contains high amounts of fiber, B-complex vitamins including niacin, thiamin, and riboflavin, the essential amino acid methionine, lecithin, and some vitamin E. It is particularly high in the minerals iron, magnesium, phosphorous, and potassium.
Tri-colour Quinoa is specially mixed to combine white, red and black quinoa for the optimum nutrients. These tiny but highly nutritious grains are the excellent source of protein as they contain all the eight essential amino acids in a balanced pattern that no other grains have. Besides, they are also rich in iron, calcium and phosphorous. being a gluten free and easily digestible grain.
When come to baby food, I prefer something more just than a bowl of plain white rice porridge. For eg: I will steam carrot + spinach, blend it and mixed into porridge contains 7 grains.
