How to Cook Organic Millet Grain

Cooking organic millet grain can be tricky, but it shouldn't take you more than 30 minutes. You don't have to pre-soak or even wash it beforehand.

Instructions:

1. Toast 1 cup of organic millet seeds in a saucepan for 5 minutes.
2. Add 2 cups of water and ¼ teaspoon salt.
3. Bring to a boil and stir carefully. Reduce heat to the minimum.
4. Add two tablespoons butter and stir again before covering the pan.
5. Open and stir occasionally, but be very gentle and don't do this often as you'll break tender seeds.
6. Let organic millet simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and leave for 10 minutes more. Do not open during this time.

Fluff up your millet with a fork and add more salt if needed. Serve this grain warm as it tastes best fresh.

You can use organic millet seed as a substitute for any grain. It will taste great in baked goods and make them more crunchy. You can even add millet to soups.
