Organic Hulled Proso Millet Seed, 43 lbs.

Our hulled millet seed is certified organic, triple-cleaned and perfect for baking & cooking purposes. 

Convenient & safe storage 

Our millet is certified organic and non-GMO, and comes in six-gallon buckets (or pails... another word for the same container), containing 43 lbs. net weight. When you store millet at home, it needs to be protected in a couple of ways. First, it needs to be protected from a variety of little critters who'd like to get to it before you do. Weevils and rodents, for example. You also need to protect your millet from picking up excessive additional moisture, which can be drawn from the atmosphere. The buckets our organic hulled millet comes in provide full protection against these storage risks. They have airtight gasket-sealed lids and oxygen absorber packets that remove the oxygen from the air in the bucket after we put the lid on. The O2 absorbers leave an atmosphere of nitrogen in the bucket (because air is mainly oxygen and nitrogen).

Super-cleaned

All of our bulk millet grain is triple-cleaned to ensure purity and protect your grain mill from any foreign objects. (Millet that isn't sufficiently cleaned may contain small stones that will damage or destroy a grain mill... not to mention that you don't want such things in your food!)

Shelf Life

Our hulled organic millet has a shelf life of 10+ years when unopened and stored in a cool, dark, dry environment.

Non-GMO

All of Pleasant Hill Grain's whole food products are natural (non-GMO). Also, PHG does not sell any grains, beans, lentils, pulses or seeds sourced from China.

Millet Uses & History

Millet is a small seeded-grass (or cereal grain) that's drought tolerant and grows well in arid and semiarid environments. Millet has been grown and consumed in East Asia, Russia and some parts of Africa since ancient times. There are several species of millet including pearl, finger, foxtail, proso, little, barnyard and kodo. The millet on this page is hulled organic proso millet (panicum miliaceum). Sorghum, which is a different gluten-free cereal grain, is sometimes referred to as “great millet”. Sorghum and millet share many characteristics.

In India, millet flour, called ragi flour, is mixed with sorghum flour to make a traditional, gluten-free flatbread. In Russian and Chinese cuisines millet porridge is a common breakfast food, similar to oatmeal. Millet can also be cooked, much like rice, and mixed with various flavorings to make a sweet or savory side dish, or a base for stir fry and curry. In addition to grinding into flour or cooking, the seeds can be soaked and added to bread dough, popped for mixing into protein bars, or even malted to make alcoholic beverages.

Millet is gluten-free, which makes it a safe choice for those who are allergic to gluten. Baked goods made with millet flour are light and airy, but can turn out dry and crumbly, so we recommend combining millet flour with other flours such as sorghum, teff and brown rice when making gluten-free cookies, pancakes, pastries and breads. 

Cooked millet smells grassy and has a mild, slightly bitter flavor, similar to quinoa, sorghum and rice. Its flavor complements a wide range of foods from berries and chocolate to earthy spices, sweet potatoes, squash and herbs. 

Millet is a good source of dietary fiber, protein, minerals, antioxidants and essential amino acids. 

To cook millet, simmer 1 cup grain with 2 cups liquid for about 15 minutes. A cup of dry grain yields about 3 cups cooked grain. Adjust the liquid to change the texture—dry millet is best for fluffy pilafs and grain salads; the texture of dry, cooked millet is similar to couscous. Millet cooked with more liquid is good for creamy hot cereals and pudding.

Exceptional Value of Bulk Grain

It's well known that basic natural foods tend to be lower in cost and much higher in nutrition than processed commercial choices, but we were still a little shocked when we compared the cost of a staple like whole grain wheat, to items on the shelves at a local grocery store. Our grain comes packaged 45 lbs. to a bucket, so we're reporting each cost here, for that same net weight. The cost of living index in Nebraska is comparatively low, so processed foods like the examples shown here are priced even higher in most areas. We came away from this exercise with a heightened appreciation for the low cost and exceptional value of quality basic foods like whole grain wheat!

Bucket Lid Wrench

Don't be afraid of the plastic construction of this handy lid removal tool. We've used them for years here at PHG. They work great and we've never had one break.

Overall length of the tool is 8.25".

Note: Some bucket lids have several points around their lower lip that must be snipped with a cutting tool prior to removal. No matter what sort of tool you use to pry the lid off, if you're working with that sort of lid then it is indeed necessary to snip the lid at those points, first. Such "snip points" vary in appearance and may or may not be marked with words like "Cut Here" or with a scissors symbol. Another type of lid has a circumferential "tear strip" around its bottom edge. With such lids you may not need a lid removal wrench to use after pulling the tear-strip away, but one can be helpful to those with hand weakness due to arthritis or other reasons.

Gluten-Free Flavor Flours Cookbook
The Gluten-Free Flavor Flours book by Alice Medrich is a James Beard Award-winning gluten-free cookbook!

Baking with flavor flours—oat flour, sorghum flour, teff, coconut flour, and nut flours, like almond and hazelnut—adds a new dimension to dessert recipes. Rather than simply adding starch and structure to a dessert (as is the case with wheat flour), these flours elevate the taste of the dessert as well. The recipes incorporate the most popular alternative flours available on the market today and use them in interesting ways, both alone and in combination.
Gluten-free bakers will find a whole new range of baking options at their fingertips. Chapters are organized by flour, each one highlighting the best recipes that flour can be used for—be it muffins, tarts, and scones made with sorghum flour; cakes, cookies, and crumbles made with oat flour; or chocolatey desserts made with teff.Each chapter highlights useful information for each flour used, covering the taste, its flavor affinities, and how it’s best used, stored, and more.With 125 accessible and delicious recipes, including Double Oat Cookies, Buckwheat Gingerbread, Chocolate Chestnut Soufflé Cake, Blueberry Corn Flour Cobbler, and Coconut Key Lime Tart, living gluten-free has never been tastier!

Cook's Illustrated How Can It Be Gluten Free Cookbook

Note: There is a Cook's Illustrated How Can It Be Gluten Free Cookbook in our clearance store.

Successful gluten free recipes require more than just new ingredients. You need new techniques and that's where the America's Test Kitchen Team can help you out. They've tried thousands of recipes (most were pretty awful, they say) before figuring out the secrets to making favorite foods without gluten. In this landmark book, learn what works (and why) so you can successfully prepare lasagna, fried chicken, and fresh pasta in your kitchen. With reinvented baking rules to produce amazing cookies, cakes, breads, biscuits and more, you'll find many recipes to love in this cookbook!

Review by Publishers Weekly: "Even ultra-experienced gluten-free cooks and bakers will learn something from this thoroughly researched, thoughtfully presented volume. It begins with an introduction to the science of gluten, strategies for replacing wheat in recipes, troubleshooting suggestions, and helpful evaluations of commercial brands of gluten-free flour blends, sandwich bread, and pasta. The editors advise against using more brands than they recommend. Each entry opens with an explanation of 'why this recipe works' and many include additional tips and variations. And the recipes cover the dishes gluten-free eaters are most likely to crave. There are breakfast recipes, including lemon ricotta pancakes and buttermilk waffles; entrees, such as spaghetti and meatballs, fried chicken, and cheese quiche; and breads: multigrain sandwich bread, dinner rolls, and English muffins. Of course there are desserts, too, from oatmeal-raisin cookies to deep-dish apple pie. The simplicity of the dishes belie the innovation contained in this book—it's a necessary addition to any gluten-free cookbook collection."
