Organic Millet
Suma Organic Millet 500g is a mild, naturally nutty grain that is easy to cook and useful in all sorts of everyday meals. When simmered it becomes tender with a light, fluffy texture, making it a great alternative to rice or couscous for weeknight dinners. You can also cook millet a little longer with extra liquid for a soft, porridge style breakfast, or let it cool and use it in salads where it holds its shape nicely. Because millet has a gentle flavour, it takes well to spices, herbs and broths, so it works in everything from simple vegetable pilafs to comforting soups and traybake style dinners.

How do you cook millet so it is fluffy and not mushy?
Rinse it first, then toast it briefly in a dry pan or with a little oil to bring out a nutty flavour. Cook it in a measured amount of water or stock, then let it stand off the heat with the lid on so the steam finishes the grains before you fluff with a fork.
Is millet the same as couscous or quinoa?
Millet is a true grain, while couscous is a small pasta made from wheat and quinoa is technically a seed. In cooking terms, millet sits closer to rice in how it is simmered, but it has its own mild taste and a slightly softer bite.
What does millet taste like and what does it pair well with?
Millet has a gentle, slightly sweet, nutty taste. It pairs especially well with warm spices like cumin and paprika, fresh herbs like parsley and coriander, and broths or sauces that add more savoury depth.
