About Millet, cooked
Cooked millet is one of the more underused whole grains in American cooking. It has a mild, slightly nutty flavor that works equally well in savory grain bowls and as a porridge base. The texture after cooking is fluffy and light if simmered dry, or creamy if stirred frequently with extra liquid. Protein and fiber are modest but present, fat is low, and the carbohydrate profile is similar to other cooked whole grains. Gluten-free and easy to digest, it's common in African and Asian cuisines.
