Bob's Red Mill Whole Grain Millet
What it is
This is a package of whole grain millet, a small, round cereal grain. The grains are intact and have their outer hull removed, making them ready for cooking. This product is a good source of whole grains for your pantry.
How people cook with it
Millet can be cooked as a standalone grain or incorporated into various recipes. It offers a mild, slightly nutty flavor that complements many ingredients.
- Cooked as a hot cereal
- Added to baked goods
- Used in savory pilafs
- As a base for grain bowls
To cook millet, rinse the grains thoroughly under cold water. Combine one part millet with two parts liquid, such as water or broth, in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed and the grains are tender. Let it stand, covered, for a few minutes before fluffing with a fork. It can be served warm or chilled.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to other cereal grains like rice or quinoa, millet has a slightly firmer texture when cooked. Its flavor is more delicate than oats and less starchy than cornmeal. The small, round shape of the grains gives it a unique appearance in dishes.
How to keep the rest
Store any remaining millet in its original packaging or an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Ensure it is sealed properly to maintain freshness and prevent moisture absorption. Proper storage will help keep the grains from going stale.
