Chinese Black Sesame Seed Porridge(Geema Woo)

A sweet snack or dessert soup that's rich in flavor and nutrients.The unhulled black sesame seeds are so nutritious that Asian medicinal folklore says they can prevent or reverse greying hair!While I highly doubt that claim,black sesame seeds are rich in calcium,iron,and fiber and are an excellent source of protein,and most importantly they don't taste half bad.The rock sugar ,or rock candy,is a type of sugar sold in Asian stores that resembles an amber colored crystal or rock.It has a taste comparable to light turbinado(which I recommend as a substitute):slightly less refined than white processed sugar but no deep molasses taste like brown sugar or unrefined sugars.This recipe is from The Wisdom Of The Chinese Kitchen by Grace Young.
