What was it like: eat like a king in the morning, like a king at lunchtime, and like a pauper in the evening.
Easily said, but our breakfast culture is pretty bad. Quickly bought a roll from the bakery on the way or sweet bars for school, people are in a hurry in the morning and after a rested night the stomach only comes up later. It is particularly important early in the morning to start the day well and, above all, healthy.
As an alternative to bread, rolls, or nothing at all, there are delicious grain products such as cornflakes, muesli, or various homemade fresh grain dishes. Fresh grain is the be-all and end-all of a healthy diet, and with the delicious fresh grain porridge, you can prepare a tasty dish that will keep you full all morning. The practical thing about fresh grain porridge is that it can be made with minimal preparation time and without much effort.
For this, you need a grain mill or at least a grain flaker in order to always prepare the grain dish fresh. A mill is a valuable kitchen helper that really pays off in the long run, because freshly ground flour or grist can be used in many ways.
