How to Use Millet?

A dietary staple across much of Asia and Africa, millet is one of the most versatile additions to your pantry, suitable for a wide range of sweet or savoury recipes:

• Prepare an easy-to-cook gluten-free side dish similar to couscous with a fluffy texture and deliciously nutty flavour by gently toasting the grains. 
• Use it as a nutritious substitute for potatoes, quinoa, or white rice, perfect with curries, stews and casseroles.
• Add the cooked millet to salads or Buddha bowls for a healthy source of slow-release energy.
• Use it to naturally thicken soups, sauces and gravy.
• Cook with milk or plant-based alternatives to create a creamy, nutrient-dense breakfast porridge.
• Ground into a fine powder, millet flour is excellent for baking bread, muffins and cookies.

How to Cook Millet Grain?

1. Rinse the millet in cold water.
2. Toast the raw millet over medium heat in a saucepan, stirring continuously until the grains turn lightly golden (be careful not to let them burn).
3. Place it in a saucepan with three times as much water as millet, then bring to a boil, cover, and simmer gently for 15-20 minutes until tender and fluffy.

Millet Health Benefits

Organic millet is a healthier alternative to regular rice with a range of nutritional benefits:

• It has fewer carbohydrates and boasts a considerably higher protein and fibre content, which can support digestion, help maintain healthy cholesterol levels, and promote satiety.
• With a lower glycaemic index than most white rice varieties, it can initiate a more gradual rise in blood sugar levels, making it potentially suitable for diabetics.
• It is an excellent source of essential B vitamins and minerals, including calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and iron.
• The millet is prepared in an environment where it cannot come into contact with gluten-containing grains, making it ideal for a wide range of dietary requirements.
