Organic Millet Flour, stoneground

What is it?

A gluten-free flour made from millet grain. Often overlooked in gluten-free baking, it has a mild flavour and adds whole grain nutrition. One of the oldest grains in the world, millet flour has a subtle taste and gives a lovely creamy colour to baking.

What are the nutritional benefits?

Extremely nutritious and a good source of protein, amino acids and dietary fibre. Also a good source of magnesium. It is alkaline which makes it easy to digest.

Where can I use it?

Perfect for sweet and savoury baking. A little millet flour in breads makes them lighter with a crunchy crust. Used alone, millet flour may work in certain recipes, like those for pancakes or tortillas. However, for other baking or cooking projects, millet flour tends to require some type of binding agent like guar gum. You can often cut sugar in recipes when you use it. It can be mixed with other flours to produce lower carbohydrate breads.
