But food can be different: healthy or just tasty. Each of us has his own preferences in this area: one loves spicy, the other sour, and the third is too salty.
From birth, our food and diet are changing. The first we eat, or rather, drink mother’s milk, which gives us strength to develop. Gradually, the number of our dishes changes, and then our taste is formed. But there are such dishes that almost all children and many adults eat. One of them is semolina porridge.
We all know that cereals are very useful and nutritious for the body, as well as necessary for the proper development of the baby. That is why porridge makes up the bulk of the diet of people, especially children. Here we will cover topics such as semolina recipe, its benefits and harms, etc. This type of food - semolina - there are a lot of lovers, but there are also those who do not digest it, both literally and figuratively. But despite this, it is considered to be very useful and the most frequently prepared porridge. For several dozen generations of children grew up on porridge from semolina. Not only mothers, but also doctors say about its benefits, recommending it for a growing body.
But along with useful properties, semolina has some negative aspects. Let's talk about the dangers of semolina porridge. It contains such a nutrient element as phytin.

The recipe for the classic version is quite simple. For cooking, you need a quarter cup of semolina, butter, sugar (salt) to taste and four glasses of milk. The first step is to pour a little water into the pan so that the porridge does not burn. In already boiling water, pour four glasses of milk, a little salt and sugar (its amount is determined to taste). When you see that all this mass is boiling, slowly mixing, gradually pour a quarter cup of semolina. It is cooked for about ten minutes on low heat, while constantly stirring so that the porridge does not burn and there are no lumps. When everything is ready, you need to pour the mass into a plate and be sure to put butter, after which it can be eaten.

Continuing to stir, simmer for about 15 minutes, then add the rest of the ingredients and cook for another 5 minutes. And the porridge is ready.
