Millet Pumpkin Porridge with Free Range Organic Chicken
Millet is a nutritious, alkalising gluten-free ‘grain’ which has been part of man’s diet for thousands of years. It seems to have been domesticated since Neolithic times among the foothills of the Taihang mountains, Hebei. Known as a healing food in Traditional Chinese Medicine, it is very low in allergens, easily digestible, and acts to heal and protect the digestive system. This makes it particularly suitable for women during confinement, young children and the elderly.
Free-range organic chicken are able to move freely in the sunlight and fresh air resulting in healthier birds. Organic feed means that the meat is also GMO-free and hormone free. Here in combination with pumpkin & chicken, the millet porridge makes a nourishing meal to support kidney qi, stomach yin deficiency, and spleen qi deficiency, while helping to clear heat and transform phlegm in the lung.
