N47° Golden Millet

Overview

Grown in the black soil of China’s 47° north growing region, this millet receives ample sunlight and irrigation and is harvested once a year. The Jinmiao variety has small, even, golden grains.

Cooking produces a soft, aromatic porridge with a rich layer on the surface. Prepare it on its own or with red dates, pumpkin or sweet potato.

Preparation

Use an approximate millet-to-water ratio of 1:10. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat and simmer for 15–20 minutes. Cooking until a rich surface layer develops improves the texture.
