Shiloh Farms - Organic Millet Grain - 30 oz.

Brand: Shiloh Farms

A highly nutritious and versatile grain, SHILOH FARMS Millet is tasty, with a mildly sweet, nut-like flavor. Depending upon its preparation, millet can be fluffy like rice, or creamy like polenta. It can also be sprouted, popped, toasted, or ground into flour for use in baked goods. The opportunities for incorporating this delicious whole grain into your diet are virtually endless! A few years ago, you might have been more likely to find millet in your birdfeeder than on your dinner table, but no more. Tiny but mighty, millet is an excellent source of fiber, protein, and an array of vital nutrients (particularly copper, phosphorus, zinc, and B Vitamins). Rich in phytochemicals and naturally gluten-free, it is not acid-forming, making it easier to digest. In fact, this little seed is often considered the least-allergenic & most-digestible of grains, making it a welcome addition to any diet! Like quinoa and buckwheat, millet is technically a seed. Because they are enclosed in remarkably hard, indigestible hulls, the seeds must be hulled before they can be used for human consumption. However, hulling does not affect the nutrient value, as the germ stays intact throughout this process. To Cook: Sort and rinse. Add 1 part grain to 3 parts water or stock and bring to a boil. Reduce, cover, and simmer approximately 30 minutes, or until water is completely absorbed. Remove from heat and let steam, covered, for an additional 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork and serve. If millet has been presoaked, the cooking time will be shortened by 5-10 minutes. Millet expands to twice its volume when cooked. Using less water produces a fluffier texture; use more water for a very moist and dense result.
