Hello everybody!

Since I am an adherent of healthy food, millet flakes from   Nordic did not pass by!

Before buying them, I stood at the shelf for a long time, and thought, because I was confused by the expensive cost of this product - 75 rubles per 500 grams. This is a significant minus. But still I bought it.

I cooked that very evening, and the next day I went and bought two more boxes :) Because I was delighted with them! Even boys who don’t like porridge eat porridge!

The packaging is bright and sunny - yellow + also delicious, because it has a plate with ready-made porridge!

Another important plus of this product is that only the highest grade millet is used, that is, calibrated, apparently, therefore, and the price is so expensive. It contains a lot of magnesium, and it is useful, especially for those who have heart problems, is also useful for small children, as it has a positive effect on bone growth in children, makes healthy teeth and enamel becomes stronger. Even PMS becomes less pronounced! But, as I noticed, it is necessary to eat it regularly, enter it into the diet, and eat it every morning or every other day. Then the sense will be real. That is, I am treated by her, besides satisfying my hunger!

The quality of the product is high, and it is confirmed by various studies. But I understood this without the inscription on the package.

How to cook? Cook for about three minutes. But I decided not to boil, but to pour boiling water. And after three minutes there. Before lunch, hunger does not occur.

When I prepare two servings, I take about half a liter of water, sometimes less, that is, 250 ml of cereal and 500 ml of water, some are poured with milk, especially if they are preparing it for the kids.

A huge plus that they can be cooked in the microwave! A power of 700 watts is enough. Someone puts sugar, someone salt. I alternate when I want sweets, then sugar, when - salty, then salt.

I like the fact that they have a short shelf life of only nine months. This makes me happy. For, the longer the product has a shelf life, the less useful it is, although this is not always the case, but usually.

It is better to store them at a humidity of not more than 75%, and at a temperature of no more than 25 degrees. But, I think that you can not even pay attention to the storage method if you eat porridge every day, as it will end quickly and you won’t have to store it for a long time.

Cons, in addition to the expensive cost of the product, I did not notice.

Today, manufacturers offer various types of flakes. The first is enough to fill with hot liquid and leave for a few minutes. The latter are necessarily subjected to heat treatment, however, the duration of their cooking is much shorter than the classic millet groats.

No chemicals are used in the millet flakes production process. Millet is cleaned and then steamed. With the help of special aggregates, the cereal culture is rolled into thin flakes, which we used to see on store shelves.

Before we discuss the chemical composition of millet flakes, I would like to pay special attention to their nutritional value. It will be similar to millet groats. In its raw form, millet flakes cannot be called a low-calorie product, because their energy value reaches 343 kilocalories. But in the finished form, especially if the flakes are cooked on a water basis, calorie content decreases and barely reaches 100 kilocalories.

Of course, most of them are carbohydrates, which are popularly called slow. A portion of millet flakes retains a feeling of fullness for a long time. Millet flakes are also a source of energy.

The useful properties of any product, experts primarily associate with its chemical composition. You have already seen how millet is useful in composition. Flakes made from this cereal crop are in no way inferior to their ancestor. That's just a lot of things depend on the method of preparation.
