Description
The INTSORMIL CRSP recently conducted a study to examine thick sorghum millet consumption related to preference and satiation in the Sikasso, Segou and Mopti regions of Mali. Researchers found that porridges are Generally eaten more frequently and consumed in a thicker consistency in the villages and are very satiating. This study was part of a larger study to understand the effect of thick porridges and delayed glucose delivery to the body on satiety and overall food consumption.
