We were so mired in eating delicacies and instant foods that we completely forgot about such healthy dishes as cereals. Most often we remember them only when it is necessary to feed a small child or when the stomach, due to frequent overeating of not very healthy food, once again failed. Take at least the same wheat porridge. Many do not even know what it is, but there are those who have tried it once, and forgot about it forever.
Nevertheless, if you decide to switch to a healthy diet, including a variety of cereals in the diet, then it will be useful for you to know how to cook wheat porridge. The fact is that it is one thing to simply cook, and quite another, to prepare a delicious dish. No, you should not think that the recipe for wheat porridge is very complicated and sophisticated. Everything is simple to disgrace, the main thing is to learn a few simple things. For example, not everyone knows that wheat groats (as well as any other) should be washed. Often the water has to be changed several times. You should also pay attention to the ratio of cereals and liquids. So, if you want to get friable porridge, then for one glass of wheat cereal you need to take two glasses of milk or water, if viscous, then there should be more liquid, about three glasses per 1 glass of cereal.
In general, wheat porridge can be prepared in different ways. Someone boils it in water, someone in milk, and someone combines these two liquids. The additional ingredients that make up porridge can also be very varied. Here, as they say, a matter of taste. You can add sugar, and dried fruits, and honey, and nuts, and much more. Everyone can add what he likes best.
