Product Introduction: Beyond golden millet, white millet stands out as a unique and understated member of the millet family. Laoye Ridge white millet originates from the core grain-producing region of Northeast China. During its growing season, the millet receives abundant sunshine and experiences significant temperature variations, resulting in grains that are a warm, milky white to light yellow. When cooked into porridge, it is rich in rice oil and has a clear, bright color. Compared to yellow millet, white millet has a more delicate, refreshing texture and a milder aroma. While retaining the same stomach-soothing properties, it is particularly appealing to those who prefer a lighter flavor. A bowl of white millet porridge in the morning is the perfect comfort food.
Origin and Raw Materials: The millet is grown in the golden belt of grain production at 43° North latitude. Sown in spring and harvested around the autumnal equinox, its growing period lasts over 120 days. Irrigated by water from Changbai Mountain and nourished by black soil, the millet ears are plump. The raw grain undergoes refining processes such as hulling, milling, color sorting, and polishing, resulting in clean grains and a low breakage rate.
Quality Characteristics: The grains are small and round, milky white with a slight yellow tinge, and have a natural sheen. When cooked into porridge, a thick layer of rice oil will form on top, resulting in a thick and clear porridge. It has a smooth, glutinous texture and a delicate, elegant aroma; it does not become bitter or astringent even after prolonged cooking.
Nutritional Value: Millet has long been considered a stomach-nourishing food, containing protein, B vitamins (especially rich in B1), tryptophan, and minerals such as iron, selenium, and potassium. White millet also retains the nutrients of the bran, and its dietary fiber is gentle and non-irritating, making it suitable as a first "stomach-nourishing porridge" for those recovering from illness, postpartum women, and the elderly and children.
Preparation Method: Millet Porridge: The rice-to-water ratio is approximately 1:10-1:12. Add the millet after the water boils and simmer for 20-25 minutes until the rice oil appears. Pumpkin, red dates, and yam can be added during cooking. Cooking it with white rice creates a more balanced flavor. Avoid excessive stirring while cooking to prevent the rice oil from dissipating.
Suitable for: People with weak spleen and stomach, those recovering from illness, pregnant women, infants in the early stages of complementary feeding, urban dwellers seeking a light and stomach-friendly breakfast, and the elderly as a daily staple food.
Storage method: Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place, avoiding moisture. Millet has a high lipid content; after opening, it is recommended to seal and refrigerate for two to three months to maintain the aroma of fresh rice.Wholesale Grains,Bulk Grains,Grains and Cereals,Grain Supplier,Wholesale sorghum, rolled oats, corn grits and other grains for global buyers.
