Millet

Description

Millet has a delicate, slightly nutty flavor and a fine, light yellow texture when cooked, which can be fluffy or creamy depending on the water ratio. It is naturally gluten-free, easy to digest, and has a neutral taste, making it a versatile ingredient in the kitchen. Nutritionally, it provides complex carbohydrates, a moderate amount of plant protein, as well as B vitamins, magnesium, iron, and phosphorus; it also contains fiber that supports digestion and may help regulate blood sugar levels. Millet pairs well with savory dishes such as grains with vegetables, meat, or soups, as well as desserts like puddings and breakfasts with fruits. To prolong freshness, store it in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from light; for longer storage, it is advisable to keep it in the refrigerator or freezer, as its natural oil content may go rancid over time.
