About Millet flour
Ground from whole millet, millet flour brings a faintly sweet, earthy flavor and a warm yellow color to baked goods. It is naturally gluten-free, making it a common inclusion in alternative flour blends. The protein content is reasonable, fat is low, and there is a moderate amount of fiber compared to refined wheat flours. It bakes into dense, tender crumbs and pairs especially well with cornmeal or rice flour to lighten the texture.
