It's better to cook for children in spring and eat it as a breakfast snack when it's steamed than to eat bread.

Spring is not only the season when everything germinates, but also the critical period for children to grow up. At this time, it is very important to provide children with adequate nutrition. Calcium supplementation is the "basic project" in the eyes of all mothers. There are many kinds of children's health products on the market. Many mothers spend a lot of money on health care products in order to make their children "grow taller". As a mother of two children, I have never given health care products to my children except milk. I'm not picky about food. I go outdoors to bask in the sun. It's most important to eat all kinds of food in a balanced way.

In my opinion, the best nutrition is still taken in natural food. Want to supplement calcium, in addition to drinking milk, black sesame is also a good ingredient. Black sesame is high in calcium, iron, protein and linoleic acid. Every 100g black sesame contains 870 mg of calcium, which is higher than milk. Black sesame is also rich in nutrients such as phosphorus and riboflavin, which are necessary for children's physical growth and development.

It will be difficult to directly digest black sesame seeds. If you want to absorb the nutrition of black sesame to the greatest extent, you must crush it, such as sesame paste, sesame paste, sesame steamed bread, sesame cake and so on. Now I'd like to share with you a sesame seed cake that my children especially like to eat. It tastes soft, waxy, sweet and delicious. I cook it once a week.

Ingredients: 230g of black sesame, 0/50g of sugar/kloc-,250g of horseshoe powder, and 0/300ml of clear water/kloc-.

1, black sesame seeds must be cleaned when bought, which will contain a lot of dust and impurities. After cleaning sesame seeds, drain them with a colander, spread them on a plate and dry them in a ventilated place. If you are not in a hurry, you can prepare in advance.

2. Black sesame seeds can be fried after being washed and dried. You can do it without airing, but it will take a long time to fry. Pour sesame seeds into a clean pot, stir-fry until the sesame seeds do not stick to the spatula, hear the crackling sound and smell the faint fragrance of sesame seeds, and then release the sesame seeds. Don't be lazy when frying sesame seeds. If they are burnt, they will be bitter and not delicious.

Pour sesame seeds into high-speed blender, pour 1000 ml water, and turn on the juicing function to make a delicate sesame paste. My juice function in high-speed blender is 2 minutes, which is about the same time. Sesame paste must be delicate, and the baked sesame cake tastes good.

Boil another 300 ml of water, add sugar, boil and melt, cool, pour in horseshoe powder, and mix in sesame paste.

The pot should be filled with enough water, and there must be a lot of water, because steaming the cake is a long process. Boil the water first. Prepare a large flat-bottomed plate, brush a layer of oil on the bottom to prevent sticking, scoop a spoonful of sesame paste into it, shake the plate to spread the paste all over the bottom of the plate, steam it until the color of the paste becomes dark and solidified, then scoop a spoonful of paste into it and spread it flat, and so on until all the paste is steamed.

It takes a little longer to steam the last few layers, because the bottom cake is thicker, and the thickness of the cake can be adjusted by itself.

Don't worry after the sesame seed cake is steamed. Must be thoroughly cooled. When cutting, put a little water on the knife and cut into pieces. If you don't like it too sweet, you can reduce the amount of sugar.

Eating too much black sesame seeds can easily make people get angry, so even the best sesame seeds can't be eaten. Finally, remind everyone that no matter what food is nutritious, it should not be overdone, otherwise it will be counterproductive.
