Millet
This mild, very digestible grain is a favorite for folks on a wheat-free diet. It also has a good balance of essential amino acids and is delicious with sautéed vegetables and beans or when used to make risotto. http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/recipes/guides/grains.php
We are ready for food trials. I am looking at a grain (or a pseudo-grain actually) to be Little Man's first food. This would give us much versatility- a cereal, a "rice" type meal, a flour,....something for every meal. A good "base" for a tiny menu.
The most appealing part of Millet is the "very digestible grain" part! That could take a lot of confusing symptoms out of play as we introduce a food to him after 6mo. on nothing but liquids. Other grains in play: Aramanth, Quinoa, Teff,...But I am drawn to Millet Groats -- so much so I want to go purchase some right now! But I can't find anything online that looks "safe" for purchase. I have to make a trip to a few stores in town on Monday but I am not sure I will have success.
Will this be the week we begin food trials? Only if I can find the food!
Joy, I found out about three large whole/health food stores here so far. I willgive them a call Monday and if they carry them I will go check them out and make sure they are indeed safe and ship ASAP!
ReplyDeleteSounds good- was hoping you'd see my post! :) I did order some from Australia just now too...so, one way or another. I just want them to be sometime this week- little man is SOOOO ready for FOOD!! And a cereal type would be so perfect as he could have it for 3 meals/day while we work on the rest of his tiny menu!
