PREPARATION
Boil three parts of water for each part of millet and simmer for 20 mins until tender. Add more water and stir frequently during the cooking process to make a creamier millet.
COOKING TIPS
Lightly toast millet before cooking to enhance the earthy, nutty flavour. Toss in salads or add to omelettes. Boil in milk instead of water and add some maple syrup and fruit for a tasty porridge.
COOKING IDEAS
Pop millet like popcorn, place a small amount in a dry skillet and shake the pan until you see a slight change in the colour and shape. Popped millet is smaller than popcorn and can be used also in place of breadcrumb coatings.
COOKING TIME
20 minutes
SERVINGS
About 11 portions (4 tablespoons / 1.6oz / 45g)

We are committed to minimising the amount of packaging used for our products, and are constantly exploring sustainable options, with zero plastic our ultimate goal. We measure the impact of our packaging using the three criteria below:
| Packaging to Product Weight Ratio | 7.0% |
| Recyclable Content | 100% |
| Plastic Content | 1.9% |
Our millet is packed in vacuum-sealed plastic bags. This packaging helps to preserve the nutritional value of the grain and extends its shelf life naturally without the use of preservatives. Whilst we prefer to avoid plastic, this solution results in a longer shelf life and consequently in reduced food waste.
