Millets
Whole grains, flours and blends from the millet family — small, hardy grains that have been part of Indian kitchens for generations. Cook them much like rice, stir them into khichdi and pongal, or use the flours for rotis and dosas. Each pack states the grain variety and, where available, its region of origin.

How to cook with millets
Millets cook much like rice with a little more water and a short rest at the end. A 20–30 minute soak softens the grain, shortens cooking and improves texture.
- ✓Rinse well, then soak 20–30 minutes before cooking.
- ✓Use the ratio printed on the pack — most sit between 1:2.5 and 1:3 (millet:water).
- ✓Rest covered for 5 minutes off the heat so the grains finish steaming.
- ✓Start with foxtail or barnyard if millets are new to your table.

Frequently asked questions
Are millets gluten-free?
Most millets are naturally free from gluten. If you need strict gluten-free assurance, check each pack — processing and shared facilities are noted where relevant (gluten-free* subject to controlled processing).
How are millets different from rice?
Millets keep their bran, so they tend to be higher in fibre* and have a firmer, nuttier bite than polished white rice. They usually need a little more water and a slightly longer cook.
Do I need to soak millets before cooking?
Soaking is optional but recommended. A 20–30 minute soak softens the grain, shortens the cook time and improves texture.
Which millet should I try first?
Foxtail and barnyard millet are mild and forgiving, cooking much like rice — a comfortable first choice. A balanced blend is another easy way to start.
