Millet is a light, nourishing, and naturally gluten-free ancient grain that is making a modern comeback. These small, pale yellow seeds cook quickly into a soft, fluffy texture with a subtle, slightly nutty flavour. Rich in fibre, iron, and magnesium, millet is versatile—ideal for warm grain salads, creamy porridges, grain bowls, or as a base for stews and curries. Whether you’re looking to diversify your grains or create heartier plant-based meals, millet provides a satisfying solution.
Having been cultivated for over 7,000 years, millet has origins in northern China and parts of sub-Saharan Africa. It remains a staple in countries such as India, Nigeria, and Ethiopia due to its drought resistance and adaptability. Today, millet is gaining popularity worldwide as a health-conscious grain, known for its nutritional benefits and versatility in cooking.
Cooking instructions
Rinse millet thoroughly under cold water. Add 1 part millet to 2 parts boiling water in a pan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the water is fully absorbed and the grains are tender. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork. Add a little Vegetable Bouillon to increase flavour.
