Organic Millet and Quinoa Porridge with Sausages and Vegetables

Here is a yummy organic recipe to ease your child’s and family’s transition to organic food choices.

Millet is a nutritionally rich grain often used as a staple carbohydrate in Africa, China, India and Russia.  It is high in protein, magnesium, phosphorus, zinc and fiber.  Incorporate organic millet and other whole grains in the diet to help reduce the risks of diabetes.

 Quinoa – complete protein food.  It is usually considered a grain but is actually the seed of a plant, which is related to beets, chard and spinach.  A native of South America, quinoa is a complete and well-balanced protein food with all the essential amino acids, which makes it very ideal for vegetarians and vegans.

Quinoa is also rich in manganese, magnesium, potassium, iron, copper, phosphorous, Vitamin B, Vitamin E and rich in fiber - promotes cardiovascular health and antioxidant protection.  It is rich in the amino acid lysine, which is essential for tissue growth and repair.

Those with migraine headaches, diabetes, concerned with cancer and post-menopausal women should consume more quinoa.  It has more calcium than milk.  Quinoa is gluten free, and is a safe alternative for celiac disease and wheat/gluten intolerant individuals.
