Description
Millets are small-seeded grasses that flourish in difficult growing conditions. The grain resembles small yellow beads, and has a mildly sweet, nutty flavour.
-
Directions
Rinse 1 cup grain. Add 2 cups boiling water in a pot and cover. Reduce to simmer and cook for 45 minutes or until millet is tender and liquid has been absorbed. Millet can also be cooked in a rice cooker. For a creamy porridge, stir frequently, adding extra water. Try toasting the grain before cooking for a nuttier flavour.
-
Uses
Whole cooked millet can be used as a side dish to replace rice or mashed potatoes, or cooked with extra liquid to be served as a porridge. It can be used in both sweet and savoury dishes, and as a substitute for other grains for nutritional diversity. Try substituting for buckwheat, rice, or quinoa. Whole or cracked millet can be added to breads and muffins to add flavour and texture.

Storage
When stored in a cool (preferably less than 60˚F) and dry location (less than 65% humidity), shelf life is approximately 1 year.
