Organic Millet Grain - 30 oz.

Produced by SHILOH FARMS, Millet is a highly nutritious and versatile grain with a mildly sweet, nut-like flavor. Its preparation can result in a fluffy texture like rice or a creamy consistency reminiscent of polenta. This grain can also be sprouted, popped, toasted, or ground into flour for baking, providing endless possibilities for culinary creations.

Traditionally found more in bird feeders than on dinner tables, millet has gained popularity as a nutritional powerhouse. Packed with fiber, protein, and essential nutrients such as copper, phosphorus, zinc, and B vitamins, millet is also rich in phytochemicals and naturally gluten-free, making it easily digestible and non-acidic. Often considered the most allergen-friendly and easily digested of grains, millet is a valuable addition to any diet.

While technically a seed like quinoa and buckwheat, millet requires hulling before consumption due to its hard, indigestible hulls. However, this process does not diminish its nutrient value, as the germ remains intact. To cook millet, simply sort and rinse the grains, then add one part millet to three parts water or stock. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for approximately 30 minutes until the water is absorbed. Let it steam for an extra 10 minutes, then fluff with a fork before serving. Pre-soaking the millet will shorten the cooking time by 5-10 minutes. Millet doubles in volume when cooked, producing a fluffier texture with less water or a denser result with more water.

Certified organic and Kosher, SHILOH FARMS Millet is a nutritious and delicious grain that offers a variety of culinary possibilities for a healthy diet.
