Black Rice, Barley & Flax Seeds Congee Recipe
With the morning rush we always prefer to have some dish which can be cooked faster and at the same time it should be healthier too. Cooking Black rice consumes a lot of time as we need to soak them for a minimum of 8 to 10 hours. However, black rice congee is one recipe which can be cooked very fast if the congee powder is prepared in advance. This soup or congee is a combination of black rice, barley, flax seeds roasted and powdered coarsely and cooked along with tossed garlic & spinach. Black rice or forbidden rice contains the lowest number of calories among other rice varieties but has a high amount of nutrients. Barley on the other hand is good for intestine. Flax seeds is high in omega3. Combining all these 3 together into a single dish is beneficial for all age groups. We generally take this soup at least weekly twice as morning breakfast or during dinner. The soup is light and filling for a long time.
