Organic Millet Grain 1kg

Organic hulled millet is a naturally gluten-free ancient grain with a mild, nutty flavour. It is ideal for quick savoury side dishes, salads and porridge.

What is Organic Hulled Millet?

Our Organic Hulled Millet is made from 100% certified organic proso millet. Once its inedible outer husk is removed, the small golden grains cook into a light, fluffy, versatile alternative to rice, couscous, or quinoa.

Millet has a naturally mellow, gently nutty flavour that works equally well in sweet and savoury dishes. It provides 14.3g of protein and 8.1g of fibre per 100g, with no additives, preservatives or artificial ingredients.

This product is naturally gluten-free, vegan and certified organic.

How to Use Organic Hulled Millet

Millet is an adaptable cupboard staple for everyday cooking. Toasting the dry grains first brings out a deeper, nuttier flavour and helps the cooked grains remain separate.

• Serve as a fluffy gluten-free side dish with curries, stews, casseroles or roasted vegetables.
• Use instead of potatoes, quinoa or Organic White Rice.
• Shape cooked millet into herby veggie burgers, fritters or small patties with grated vegetables and your favourite seasoning.
• Use instead of bulgur in a fresh tabbouleh-style salad with cucumber, tomatoes, parsley, mint and lemon.
• Cook a larger batch for weekday lunches, then add to salads, grain bowls or Buddha bowls as needed.
• Stir cooked millet into soups, sauces and stews for extra texture and natural thickening.
• Cook with milk or a plant-based alternative for a warm, creamy breakfast porridge.
• For baking, use finely milled Organic Millet Flour in breads, muffins, pancakes and cookies.

How to Cook Organic Hulled Millet

1. Rinse the millet thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dust and excess surface starch.
2. For a nuttier flavour, toast the drained grains in a dry saucepan over a medium heat for one to two minutes, stirring continuously until lightly golden. Take care not to burn them.
3. Add water, bring to the boil, then cover and simmer gently until tender.

Cook’s Tip: Choose Your Texture

For light, separate grains with a couscous-like texture, use one part millet to two parts water and simmer gently for around 15 minutes. For a softer, creamier result for porridge or thick soups, use one part millet to three parts water and cook for 15–20 minutes.

For a savoury side dish, add a pinch of salt and cook in vegetable or chicken stock. For breakfast porridge, use milk or a plant-based alternative, then finish with fruit, cinnamon, honey or maple syrup.

Where does it come from?

Our Organic Hulled Millet is grown in Hungary and processed by specialist producer Valoryz in the Körös region of the Hungarian Great Plain. The area’s sunny, flat landscape is well suited to growing quality grains, while a shorter European supply chain gives clear provenance from field to finished pack.

Valoryz’s modern facility cleans, grades, hulls and packs its grains in Hungary. The millet passes through specialist sorting equipment, including a gravity separator that helps remove unsuitable grains and achieve a particularly clean finished product. The producer also uses cooled storage rather than post-harvest chemical treatments.

Monika Gyenes selected the range for its dependable cooking performance, delicate flavour and transparent origin. It is part of our carefully chosen rice and grains range.

The 1kg bag is made from recyclable paper, offering a practical, plastic-free way to keep this versatile organic grain close at hand.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does millet need to be soaked before cooking?

No. This hulled millet does not need to be soaked before cooking. Simply rinse it well, then toast it if desired before adding water and simmering.

Why should I rinse millet?

Rinsing removes any dust and excess surface starch, helping the cooked grains taste clean and remain more separate.

Is Organic Hulled Millet naturally gluten-free?

Yes. Millet is naturally gluten-free, and this product is labelled gluten-free. It is a useful alternative for people avoiding gluten-containing grains.

What does millet taste like?

Millet has a mild, gently nutty flavour. Toasting the grains before cooking makes it more aromatic, with buttery, toasted notes that the Great Taste judges compared to popcorn.

How does millet compare with rice?

Both millet and rice are naturally gluten-free and easy to use as a side dish. Millet has a nuttier flavour and a more delicate, couscous-like texture, while Organic White Rice is softer, milder and more familiar in dishes such as curries and stir-fries.

Can I use millet for breakfast porridge?

Yes. Use the creamier one-to-three millet-to-liquid ratio, then serve with milk or a plant-based alternative, fruit, nuts, cinnamon or your preferred toppings.
