Ancient Grains - Millet

Millet Grains



Facts on Millet:
  • One of the oldest foods known to man and sustains 1/3 of the world's population.
  • Millet is highly nutritious, gluten-free and is not an acid forming food so it is soothing and easy to digest.
  • It has between 11-14% protein and contains high amounts of fiber, B-complex vitamins, niacin, thiamine, and riboflavin, and essential amino acid metionine, lecithin, and some vitamin E.
  • The seeds are also rich in phytochemicals, including Phytic acid, which is believed to lower cholesterol, and Phytate, which is associated with reduced cancer risk.
  • At Honeyville, we sold a lot of millet, but I bet 9 out of 10 customers bought it for bird food. Look what they're missing by not sharing with the birds?
To cook:
1 cup millet
3 cups water or stock.

Add grain to boiling water and simmer covered for 30 minutes or until water is completely absorbed. Removed from heat and let stream, covered fro 10 minutes. The flavor of millet is enhanced by lightly roasting the grains in a dry pan before cooking. Stir constantly for approximately 3 minutes or until a mild, nutty aroma is detected.
