Frequently Asked Questions
Is millet really gluten-free?
Yes, millet is naturally gluten-free and safe for celiac disease. However, cross-contamination can occur during processing, so look for certified gluten-free millet if you're sensitive.
How do you cook fluffy vs creamy millet?
For fluffy millet (like rice), use 2 cups water per 1 cup millet. For creamy millet (like polenta), use 3-4 cups water. Toast millet before cooking for nuttier flavor.
