Millet porridge is a healthy option for breakfast.

But sometimes housewives are faced with the fact that this dish has a bitter taste.

Chef Yulia Arkhipova explained why millet porridge can taste bitter.

Possible reasons

The porridge will be bitter if the grain is old. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to the shelf life of the cereal not only in sealed form, but also in open form.

When stored for a long time, the fats contained in the grains may oxidize.

This can ultimately result in a bitter taste.

The porridge may taste bitter if it has not been cleaned well. The taste of the dish will be spoiled if the cereal contains wormwood, dandelion or other herb seeds.

Millet porridge will also be tasteless if it is burnt or sour.

So it is not worth keeping it warm for a long time. In addition, it should be taken into account that the dish will turn sour faster if you cook it with milk.
