1) It is better to buy cereals in stores in packaged form with the date of production and shelf life correctly marked on the package. Since it is quite sensitive to the duration and conditions of storage, loose cereal purchased on the market may taste bitter if it has been stored for a very long time in unsuitable conditions.

2) Corn grits have 5 degrees of grinding, and the higher the grind number, the finer the size of the grains.
From the largest product, the porridge takes longer to cook and has a distinct grainy consistency, but at the same time it retains more of the necessary substances inside. The smallest corn grits resemble semolina in appearance. The porridge from it cooks quite quickly and has a very delicate velvety consistency, which is especially suitable for feeding small children. It should be noted that the degree of grinding is not always indicated on the packaging, so in a number of different cases you will have to rely on your eyesight and experience.

3) Corn grits can have different colors from gray and pale yellow to very catchy. Very colorful cereals can be colored with chemical substances, so it is better to choose a product with a measured yellowish color. It is also important to make sure that there are no foreign inclusions, traces of pests or spoilage inside the pack.

4) After purchasing, the cereal should be poured into a glass or clay jar with a tight-fitting lid and stored in a dark, dry place for no more than 2 - 3 months.

5) Before cooking porridge, it is better to wash coarsely ground cereal by pouring it into a sieve and holding it under cool running water. It is quite problematic to create this with small grains, so it would be better to leave it as is.

Corn porridge with milk: preparing a healthy dish for the whole family

Corn porridge is not particularly popular in our country. More often than not, corn is associated with cereal or sweet sticks, which kids adore. But among various cereals, in terms of its own usefulness, it occupies an honorable fourth place, second only to buckwheat, oatmeal and lentils. Corn grits are rich in microelements and vitamins, perfectly remove toxins (Toxin in ancient Greek (toxikos) - poisonous - poison of biological origin) from the body, and it is also successfully included in diets (Diet - a set of rules for human consumption of food) for cardiovascular diseases . For breakfast, it is customary for almost all Russian families to prepare milk porridge. Why not start cooking it from corn? Let's look at recipes for making porridge with milk from corn grits.

Corn grits or flour - which is good?

Corn grits come in different grinds:

small (the size of the grains is like semolina);
medium (grains like wheat or barley groats);
big.

Separately, it is necessary to separate out the corn flour, the grains of which have been crushed to a dusty state.

Fine grinding of cereals is also referred to as coarse corn flour, from which classic dishes are prepared in some countries: hominy in Romania and polenta in Italy. In our country, porridge from corn flour is cooked for small babies up to one year old and used as first complementary foods.

Corn porridge with milk can be made from cereal of any grind, but you need to know this aspect: the finer it is, the faster the dish will be ready. Recipes usually state that the cooking time for porridge is 30 to 40 minutes. A dish of coarsely ground cereal is cooked for about an hour.

Pre-soaking the cereal is usually necessary in this case, when the porridge is cooked for baby food. It is believed that in this way phytic acid is neutralized, which prevents the absorption of necessary substances (nutrients) in the intestinal tract.

If you want to prepare porridge for a child, choose corn flour or finely ground cereal

Boil the cereal in boiling water until it swells and the water evaporates.
Pour milk over the swollen cereal (if a watery porridge is required, add another glass of water), cook under the lid until tender, stir.
Let the porridge steep for a couple of minutes.

Corn porridge with milk will turn out even tastier if you add lemon zest, dried fruits, vanilla, ground cinnamon, and some fresh fruits when serving. You can flavor the dish with honey - it’s both tasty and healthy. As a last resort, you can reduce the amount of sugar or completely do without it.

Reviews and advice from hostesses from forums

I cook in portioned pots of 200-250 ml in the microwave (so that the milk does not burn) in the Oven + Microwave mode (Microwave radiation, microwave radiation - electromagnetic radiation, including the decimeter, centimeter and millimeter range of radio waves) at 140 degrees. Having placed the pot on the scale, I pour in cool milk, add cereal, salt, and sugar. 1st phase - boiling - 5 minutes at 70 power. Between phases, add butter and mix. 2nd phase - maturation - 15-30 minutes at 40-20 power. Even my daughter eats it without leaving a trace.

Yes, it couldn’t be easier than corn porridge:) I take any cereal that is in the store. The main thing about it is not to pour too much, because it thickens quickly. I add 2 heaping tablespoons of corn grits to 1 cup of milk. I pour it into boiling milk, reduce the temperature, and stir. at this step you can also add a spoonful of sugar, but I prefer dried fruits (dates, dried cherries, prunes - just one thing), which I add about 5 minutes after the cereal. After another 5 minutes the porridge begins to suddenly become viscous, I turn it off and leave it from the heat. All. You can also cook corn porridge with pumpkin. To do this, I first put grated pumpkin (a little) into the boiling milk and cook for about 10 minutes. Then I add the cereal and do everything further as I wrote above.

The time depends very much on the grain, or rather its size. Once upon a time, quite a long time ago, I bought corn grits, thinking that they were all the same. The cereal was large, it took a very long time to cook, and in the end it was a little tough (((I was then disappointed in corn porridge... And later I bought cereal as in the photo, it was written No. 3, it was small, I cooked it as I wrote above, at first it was a little with water, then milk for 20-30 minutes. And not so long ago I bought even smaller grains, so they cook completely quickly - about 10-15 minutes, they come out very warm, similar to semolina in the mixture. So now if I see a small grain, immediately several packs, otherwise we don’t have it all the time.
