Has anyone tried Quinoa or Amaranth in porridge?

    I'm thinking I might replace some of the porridge with this? Maybe say 20%. Quinoa grains are bigger so that might work better than amaranth.

    Regular grains have quite a high glycemic index in spite of not being turned into flour.

    I cant answer your question but for a while I was eating a "porridge" made from Barley , it has a kind of a risotto quality to it and has a much lower GI then regular porridge. Its slower to make but you can make a batch and use it for other things like stews.

    Is that with pearl barley or barley flakes? Sounds nice :)

    peal barley, just cook em for an ~ hour in water, i used to just add some cream and cinnamon to taste. an underrated cereal imo also an alternative for rice.

    Regarding amaranth: It's one of the few foods I find absolutely disgusting. I tried it a few times and always get an earthy, musty and almost moldy taste from it. I'll never go near it again.

    BTW: I find porridge made from buckwheat or millet flakes quite nice, just in case if you want to try something else.

    Well I preferred the look of quinoa anyway. So I think I'll go for that one for now.

    I might look into the buckwheat or millet flakes in due course.
