Flax porridge with mulberry in orange juice is a true gift of nature that combines ancient Russian culinary traditions with modern healthy eating trends. Flax has long been valued for its nutritional properties, while mulberry adds sweetness and rich flavor. The delicate texture of the porridge, slightly refreshed by the citrus notes of orange juice, harmoniously pairs with crunchy pistachios and aromatic dried berries. The porridge is rich in beneficial amino acids, vitamins, and antioxidants that promote metabolism and strengthen immunity. It is ideal as a nutritious breakfast or light snack that will energize and invigorate you. It can be served with maple syrup or honey to highlight the natural sweetness of the ingredients.
