Introduction of Tsubu Tsubiu Cooking
What do I do with them?

Let’s try! Gourmet cooking with millet

Unrefined grains contain almost all the essential nutrients in prefect balance. This has been phisiologically proven recently. For a balanced diet we need to re-examine traditional diets and eat meals which consists of up to 70% millet.

Some harmful chemicals, including dioxins, can accumulate in animal food, such as meat, fish, dairy foods and eggs. Animal food may also contain growth hormones and antibiotic that are used to speed up the growth of animals. Grains, especially, millet, enable a reduced dependence on animal food and a smooth change to a better diet without breaking the nutritional balance.

It seems, however, impossible to change immediately from a diet with strong artificial tastes and a high calorie and protein intake to a diet based on the mild and natural taste of grains.

Tsubu-tsubu cooking was invented to help us change to a better diet. Cooked millet can be kept in the refridgerator for up to five days without loosing their tastes.

You can create healthy dishes that taste like meat, eggs, cheese and fish with millet. Millet will diversify your diet.
Millet grains give these tastes:
1. Tsubu-tsubu pasta made from barley, buckwheat or white sorghum;
2. Soft egg texture of glutinous kibi and awa;
3. Mashed potato from Hie;
4. Cheesy and creamy glutinous awa;
5. Mince meat from dark red sorghum and buckwheat;
6. Tsubu-tsubu caviar-like textured amaranth; and
7. Soft and light texture of non-glutinous awa and kibi.
The taste and volume of millet dishes are as mouthwatering as conventional dishes. You can create delicious food that is rich in life force and makes a very nice meal for your family, friends, and last but not least, for yourself.
