Greetings and Happy Holidays!!!

We've moved into the cooler months of the year this fall season. During that time it's always good to take a look at migrating to some of your more substantial staples. This issue focuses on two different types of rice [Forbidden and Kalijira] and millet for those warming, stick to your ribs, meal additions that should take you well into your winter in warmth, from the inside out.

----------------------------
FOOD TIP:
----------------------------

Try some variations with your rices and other grains like millet, teff, amaranth, quinoa [the last two not truly grains], etc. Use them to make stuffings, porridge, pilafs, soup/stew additions, grind them into flour and put them in breads, puddings, etc. Play with them and innovate something new and nutritious.

Millet Ginger Porridge
by Jason Hodge, Editor - Vegetarian & Personal Chef sites
Millet's around 11% protein by weight, high in fibre, has a nutty, buttery flavor, is versatile [being able to easily go from sweet to savory and be paired with everything from breakfast through dinner] and it tastes great! Here's one of the ways I use millet when I'm making porridge.
