Millet has a mild, sweet flavor and quick cooking time, making it a tasty, convenient, whole grain addition to any meal of the day. Unlike most other grains, this versatile, gluten free grain is alkaline, which makes it easy to digest and helps balance the body’s natural tendency towards acidity.

Discover Millet
By: Cassidy Stockton | August 3 2013Let me start by saying that millet is one of my favorite grains. In fact, it's one of my favorite Bob's Red Mill products. We see it most often in birdseed blends, but it's been popular across Asia for thousands of years. Millet was revered as one of five sacred crops in ancient China and was first farmed 10,000 years ago. Millet is mentioned in the Old Testament, the writings of Herodotus, and the journals of Marco Polo. Clearly, I'm not alone in my love of millet.
Thank you!
Your article, “Discover Millet” was very informative and you have several recipes for your hulled millet that I am going to try.
Also, what is the difference between your hulled millet vs your regular millet?
I am curious though, if you know if the Whole Grain Millet should be soaked before cooking to remove the phytic acid to allow better absorption of the nutrients millet contains.
I'm sorry we do not have more information to share on this subject.
