Helmipuuro

Helmipuuro, also known as pearl porridge, is a cherished traditional dish from Finland. Made from potato starch grains, these tiny pearls swell up in boiling milk to form translucent beads about the size of 5 millimeters. This distinctive texture is what gives helmipuuro its delightful name.

You can savor helmipuuro on its own or enhance it with an array of toppings. Popular choices include butter, kissel (a fruit-based dessert), berries, jam, or a sprinkle of sugar.

One of the wonderful aspects of helmipuuro is that it's both gluten-free and grain-free, making it an excellent option for those with celiac disease or anyone seeking a delicious alternative to traditional porridge.
