Rainy Day Foods Gluten-Free Millet Hulled 50 lbs Bag – 227 Servings – (SHIPS IN 1-2 WEEKS)

Hulled millet is one of the oldest foods known to man. It ranks as the sixth most important grain in the world, sustaining 1/3 of the world’s population. It is highly nutritious and gluten-free. Millet has a mild, sweet, nut-like flavor and is high in protein, fiber, B vitamins, iron, magnesium, phosphorous and potassium. It is best when soaked in water overnight or boiled to tenderize. Millet is delicious as a cooked cereal and in casseroles, breads, soups and stews. Up to 30% millet flour can be used in baked goods. Millet is a great addition to any long-term food storage program.

For a moisture millet add ½ cup more water.
