How to Cook

• Wash the Millet: Before cooking, rinse the millet under cold water to clean it.
• Toast the Millet (Optional): If you want to boost the flavour, you can toast the millet in a pan over medium heat for a few minutes until it smells nice and turns slightly golden.
• Boil the Water: Put 2 cups of water or vegetable broth in a pot and bring it to a boil.
• Add the Millet: Once the water is boiling, add the rinsed millet to the pot. If you toasted it, add it now too.
• Season (Optional): If you want, add a bit of salt to taste. You can also throw in some herbs or spices if you like.
• Simmer: Turn the heat down to low, cover the pot with a lid, and let the millet simmer for about 15-20 minutes. It's done when the water is absorbed and the millet is soft.
• Rest and Fluff: Take the pot off the heat and let it sit for a few minutes with the lid on. Then, fluff up the millet with a fork to separate the grains.
• Serve: Your cooked Organic Little Millet is ready to eat! You can have it as a side dish, use it in stir-fries or salads, or however else you like.
