MILLET RECIPES!: Cooking Made Easy (and the Benefits You Need to Know!)


Confused about millets? Don't worry, this guide has you covered! Here, we explore how to cook these ancient grains and delve into their impressive health benefits.

Millet Processing: Simple as Soaking Almonds

Millets don't require any complicated processing. Just like soaking almonds before use, millets benefit from an overnight soak. This helps neutralize certain anti-nutrients that can hinder mineral absorption. Soaking also improves digestion, cooking time, and overall texture – making them softer, fluffier, and more palatable.

Here's a Step-by-Step Guide:

  1. Rinse: Wash the millets thoroughly in a fine-mesh strainer to remove any impurities.

  2. Soak Overnight: Don't worry if some color remains in the water (like with Kodo millets). This doesn't affect the nutritional value or make them soggy.

  3. Cook:

  • Stovetop: Combine rinsed or toasted millets with water and salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes (or until water is absorbed and millets are cooked).

  • Rice Cooker: Simply add rinsed or toasted millets, water, and salt to your rice cooker and follow the instructions.

  1. Rest and Fluff: Once cooked, let the millets rest for 5 minutes. Then, use a fork to gently fluff the grains.

  2. Serve: Enjoy your cooked millets as a side dish, a base for various recipes, or even in place of rice! They're versatile and can be enjoyed hot or cold.

Millets: A Nutritional Powerhouse on the Rise
