Organic Millet Grain 1kg

Organic hulled proso millet is a golden-yellow ancient grain that serves as a healthy and versatile gluten-free ingredient with a mild natural sweetness.

How to use?

A dietary staple across much of Asia and Africa, millet is a pantry essential, suitable for a wide range of sweet or savoury recipes:

• Prepare a 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. It pairs perfectly with curries, stews, and casseroles.
• Add cooked millet to salads or Buddha bowls for a healthy source of slow-release energy.
• Use it to naturally thicken soups, sauces, and gravies.
• Cook it 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?

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

Health Benefits

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

• It contains fewer carbohydrates and significantly higher protein and fibre content, which can support digestion, help maintain healthy cholesterol levels, and promote satiety.
• It has a lower glycaemic index than most white rice varieties, leading to 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.
• Millet is prepared in an environment free from gluten-containing grains, making it ideal for various dietary requirements.
