Since I started in April, I have pretty much had oatmeal every day for breakfast. Today I saw an article about too much oats and how it can effect the absorption of minerals. In addition to this, I frequently get a stomach ache after I eat. These factors made me decide I have to vary my breakfasts.
I went to the store and I bought 4 different things for breakfast. One is Mighty Tasty hot cereal. It has rice, corn, sorghum, and buckwheat. The grains all seem to be ground up a little. I may have had something like this a many years ago and I not sure if I liked the texture. It is gluten free. The other was a bag of 5 rolled grains. It has oats wheat, triticale barley and rye as well as flax seeds. I also got buckwheat because if I don't like it as a cereal, I can make it into flour. Lastly I got sorghum.
I just cooked the sorghum in my rice cooker. It is kind of sweet and not as sticky as rice. I think it could be a rice replacement for savory meals. When cooked they are little round balls. What is also fun is you can pop it like pop corn. I did that too and I really liked the results. Unlike pop corn I was able to eat the unpopped kernals. It also didn't make me crave sugar which is something popcorn does. Cooked sorghum is what I am planning on having for breakfast with a little honey, raisins and hemp harts.
If anyone has any ideas or suggestions for any of these cereal grains I would love to hear them. My plan is to rotate the different cereals.
