Millet has been a dietary staple for humans for over 10,000 years, particularly in India and certain regions of Africa. Historians believe that millet was the most-consumed cereal in Asia at one time as well. Today, millet is a go-to grain for one-third of the population worldwide.
Millet is considered an ancient grain. Over thousands of years, it has undergone minimal changes through selective breeding, and so is still essentially the same grain that was consumed by our ancestors.
Farinart selects millet only from the most qualified sources, harvested with care to guarantee exceptional purity and optimal nutritional benefits. We source principally from the United States and Europe.
This product is offered in whole grain, dehulled, sprouted, roasted and stone milled (flour) forms, in both red and white varieties. Our millet is available as conventional or organic.
Millet has a delicately sweet taste with buttery notes, reminiscent of corn. Its slightly bitter, herbaceous aftertaste leads to it often being mixed with other grains in breads, flatbreads, waffles, pancakes, scones or even muffins. Millet flour can replace 25 to 50% of the wheat flour in baking recipes.
Millet contains many essential nutrients like complex carbohydrates, fiber, vitamins E and K, vitamin B complex, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, zinc and silica.
