Fans of healthy eating are advised to include more grains in their diet.

Cereals are especially good for breakfast, but due to the complexity of preparation, many are forced to deny themselves, limiting themselves to oatmeal.

But not all cereals recommended for breakfast require cooking.

Experts have shared how to prepare a nutritious and healthy breakfast, rich in vitamins, minerals and fiber.

To do this, you just need to soak the cereal overnight.

Hercules

This is the simplest option. The flakes themselves do not require long cooking and quickly become soft if you pour hot water over them.

However, the best choice is rolled oats, which require long cooking – the porridge turns out healthier.

Buckwheat

An affordable and very healthy cereal. It can also be prepared by steaming, but it takes more time.

You can use regular buckwheat or green buckwheat.

The cereal needs to be sorted, washed thoroughly, then steamed and left in a warm place under a blanket.

You can do the same with millet and couscous.

The texture of rice and pearl barley is denser, so it is recommended to boil these cereals, but some housewives steam them in a thermos.
