Hulled millet is a nutritious, gluten-free whole grain packed with fibre, vitamins, and minerals. Perfect for a variety of dishes, from hearty porridges to savoury salads, it’s a versatile addition to any pantry.
Naturally high in antioxidants and easy to digest, hulled millet is an excellent choice for those seeking a wholesome, plant-based food. Enjoy its mild, slightly nutty flavour as a healthy alternative to rice, quinoa, or couscous.
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.
This is lovely millet, it has a great flavour and nice clean pale yellow colour. I mostly mill it into fresh flour for my bread recipes (gluten free and mixed with glutenous grains/spelt etc.) but have enjoyed it as a cooked grain as well.
