Millet porridge is a healthy and nutritious side dish. But the dish is not always tasty.

Sometimes millet is bitter. And all because of the presence of oxidized vegetable fat.

Fortunately, the unpleasant taste can be neutralized. And, contrary to popular belief, achieving this result is very simple.

But this needs to be done on time: not after or during cooking, but before the start of cooking.

What to do with millet groats

Those cooks who immediately pour millet into a saucepan, add water and put it on the stove are mistaken.

First, the product must be washed. The water used should not be cold.

The procedure must be carried out until it becomes clear that the next portion of liquid no longer becomes cloudy.

But that's not all. The processed grains must be scalded. Without this procedure, the bitterness may remain.

But if the product is exposed to water brought to a boil, there will be no extra flavors.

The side dish will be appetizing. The meal will not be spoiled by bitterness.
