Hadhuud =Sorghum


Image

Sorghum is one of the five top cereal crops in the world, along with wheat, oats, corn, and barley. It originates in Africa, having been cultivated in Egypt in antiquity, and the largest producer of sorghumsorghumsorghum in the modern era is still Africa, although the crop has spread to southern Asia and the Americas as well.Sorghum is an annual grass that is extremely drought tolerant, making it an excellent choice for arid and dry areas. Sorghum has special adaptations to weather extremes and is a very stable source of nutrition as a result.The plant is very high in fiber and iron, with a fairly high protein level as well. This makes it well suited to its use as a staple starch in much of the developing world.


Aduki beans= Digir

Image


Adukis are one of the highest protein and lowest fat varieties of bean. They contain high levels of potassium and fiber, as well as B vitamins such as thiamin, niacin, and riboflavin, and minerals such as iron, zinc, and manganese.


Sareen=Barley

Image


A source of B vitamins, vitamin E, and folic acid, barley seeds are also ground into flour for baking or processed for use as a cereal.Studies have shown that individuals with barley in their diet experienced reductions in their total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL - the bad cholesterol), or triglyceride levels. Additionally, barley may assist in weight loss because it acts as an appetite suppressant making people feel like they have eaten more than they really have. Barley seeds may also protect against colon cancer.



When is the last time we ate any of these grains/beans?

What else can you offer other than that? bariis & baasto seem to be ingrained in lafeheena
and it's hard to left them when inviting some esp. people.

Specially made Basmati rice with roasted goat meat, served with dates or banana, and some variety of fruits are the best meal any person can have.

Iranians are like us. Rice and meet is their main diet.

I agree with Nabeel. We need to diversify our food intake.

Bariis/Baasto is good for inviting someone over for lunch. :mrgreen: If they don't want lunch... Get them shaah, cappuccino, coffee, cookies, cake, Ice cream cake... sweets and cold/hot beverages I guess lol.
thats why im told to go to the food lion and get that macmacaan stuff when skinnies come
It's sweet and simple! Gets the conversation going!

I hardly invite my friends over for "lunch". In fact, we cook together sometimes(no homo). I don't like the whole "be my guest" thing when it comes to having my friends at my house. Just cuz you're my "guest" doesn't mean you can't walk up to the fridge and grab a pop or water, what are you? Handicapped? When family or my mom's friends come to visit, it's a different story! LOL...
