About Millet flour
Millet is a group of small, round, ancient cereal grains grown around the world, a dietary staple across Africa and Asia for thousands of years and naturally gluten-free. Common types include pearl, foxtail, proso, and finger millet, all sharing a mild, slightly sweet, corn-like flavor, and depending on the amount of liquid it can be cooked light and fluffy like rice or soft and creamy like porridge.
Millet is a nourishing whole grain, providing plant protein, fiber, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, and antioxidants, and because it contains no gluten, it is a friendly choice for people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. It works beautifully as a pilaf or side dish, a salad base, a hot breakfast cereal, an ingredient in flatbreads like Indian bajra roti, and ground into flour for gluten-free baking, and it remains a common ingredient in birdseed.
Toasting the dry grains in the pan before adding liquid brings out a warm, nutty flavor. Fluff cooked millet with a fork, pair it with bold seasonings, and store the raw grain airtight in a cool spot, as its oils can eventually turn.
