Childhood Breakfast: Semolina

One of the most common breakfasts in Estonia is porridge (we call it “puder”). When I was little, then it was almost the only breakfast we had. When you come to Estonian supermarket, then you can find probably only one section for different porridges. The mixture is made with all the grains you possibly think of (such as millet, buckwheat, oatmeal, barley, and wheat). Estonia has adapted foods from Germany, Sweden, Denmark, Russia and I have no idea where else. Porridge is probably most common in Russia.

One of my childhood breakfasts was always semolina. However, since my body doesn’t tolerate wheat, then I found an alternative. Rice semolina! Once I discovered it, I couldn’t stop eating.

Semolina vs Rice Semolina?

What is rice semolina? It’s just rice. Well, the rice is already boiled a little bit and then dried and ground into fine almost like semolina powder. It’s made from the entire rice grain, and usually, there aren’t any strings attached. However, always check the package label. The only ingredient should be rice. Usually, they sell it in all health food stores.

Breakfast on Budget?

In Estonia, I can find it in all usual supermarkets at an affordable price. One of my favorite way to use rice semolina is for my breakfast bowl when I feel like I need extra carbs. I’m quite sure I’m going to make some new semolina desserts as well. However, the easiest and quickest way to use it is always porridge.
