Mieum (Korean: 미음; Hanja: 米飮) is a thin, strained gruel made from white rice, white glutinous rice, foxtail millet, or glutinous foxtail millet.[1][2] It is often used in liquid diet for patients and for recently weaned children.[2] A thinner mieum, made from rice water or mixed with powdered milk, is sometimes used as a breast milk substitute for younger babies.[2][3]
