While this organic hulled millet may look like birdseed, it is a highly nutritious and versatile grain that can be served as porridge, in salads, as a side, in veggie patties, or milled into flour.
Millet is able to take on any flavour you would like to add. Just add the flavours you want at the soaking stage.
To prepare it is best rinsed, soaked for six hours, then rinsed again. Then cook 1 cup of millet to 1¼ cup of water covered until the water boils for around 10 minutes. Turn the water off and let the millet absorb the rest of the water. Lift the lid off and fluff with a fork to let the steam out.

Customer Reviews
Perhaps I should start with saying that I grew up with millet as common food. I find the taste of the Sovereign Foods millet fine. It was not as rich in flavour and smell as the grain I'm used to but considering how hard it is to find miller in Australia and at a reasonable price, I'm ok with the purchase.
The main thing I found not ok is the quality of hulling. It's quite low. A lot of the grain is broken or hulled down to tiny irregular shaped leftovers of the original millet grain. At the same time, there's a high proportion of not hulled grain in the mix. This made my porridge quite crunchy. You can see on the pictures how many shiny full (unhulled) millet grains there are. What you're getting is very far from the golden round millet you see on the profile picture.
On the whole, I won't be re-ordering this millet. Unless the Sovereign Foods changes their supplier by the time I need to restock.
