Purple sweet potato and millet porridge

Overview

Many women in northern China have a tradition of using millet and brown sugar to take care of their bodies after giving birth. Millet porridge is rich in nutritional value and is known as ginseng soup. Because millet does not need to be refined, it retains a lot of vitamins and inorganic salts. The vitamin B1 in millet can be several times that of rice; the content of inorganic salts in millet is also higher than that of rice. In addition to being rich in iron, millet also contains protein, B complex vitamins, calcium, potassium, fiber, etc. Because millet is alkaline in nature, you don’t need to add too much salt or cook without salt at all when cooking.
