Looks amazing. I am Whole Foods plant-based so I’ll skip the oil but I can’t wait to try this.
Thank you ! It looks yummy I've never had it but I went to WinCo and bought 1lb for $1.08 of Millet for my parakeets. My mother told me that back in the days she used to cook Millet quite a bit. I will try it tomorrow. You explain your recipes really well🙏🏻
Cute pup! 🐶❤
You bet 👍 to the soaking: and there is an additional bonus in adding a bit of apple cider vinegar , which helps with absorption. If you’re vegan, this is a go to how to cook ( for iron and protein )
I love this video, the possibilities are endless!
Millets must and should be soaked for 6 to 8hrs, u need to wash the millets lightly twice and soak them, use the soaked water to cook the millet. Without soaking it may lead to digestion problem constipation etc

My first exposure to ‘

Thank you for this vid. Nice learning points on cooking millet.
make sure to soak your millet overnight for 24 hours to ensure the anti nutrients in the food are minimally absorbed by the body. ITs very important to do this or you leach minerals like calcium from the body
excellent. ty

63 and just learned about Millet 😂 This is a great video! Thank You
I think that a quarter cup is enough for one meal. By the way, millet is rich in protein. It is richer in protein than oats, and it is also rich in magnesium, iron, phosphorus and B complex.
This is great! My birds🐦 🐦⬛ and I can literally have dinner together now! 😂
This sounds delicious The only thing I would add is to rinse it until the water becomes clear.
That is a great and simple meal. couple of thing I want to share. It's better to soak the millet for 6 hour before cooking. Never throw out the millet water, whether the water you soak the millet in or cooking with it. That water has all the good nutrient .
Hello Mr.Matt Degen,
There are several varieties of Millets.
The one you have used in this video is called Proso Millet . Ain't know why the manufacturer did not mention the name of the Millet and instead chose to Label it as Millet.
You have not soaked it before cooking. Please soak it for a couple of hours before cooking it.
If you soak it well you will find it extremely soft after cooking and can also be fed to nine months babies .
If it's a Fox Tail Millet or Kodo Millet or Little Millet or Banyard Millet or Brown Top Millet, it would require to be soaked for a minimum of 8 to 10 hours and these five Millets are even more nutritious than the one you have used. Do not try them if you are not keen on soaking well.
Yes, these grains are older than the mankind .
Happy and HEALTHY Eating.
Enjoy.
Sock it 30- 40 min , i think socking may reduce cooking time.😊
In my country we use Ricecooker to cook rice. I believe we can use it to cook millet as well. It is super easy.
birdddd
You need to soak millet minimum for 6 to 8 hrs
What does it taste like? Is it more like a rice, texture or oatmeal? I’m trying to replace my oatmeal. Not sure if I should use this instead.
Beautiful non-Animal foods from Nature
I liked to cook mine in vegetable stock.
I love millet, tastes like corn to me,
Thank you.
Any benefits to soaking it before cooking? Maybe even sprouting it and eating it raw or sprouting and cooking but for a short period of time?
Great! thank you
Yummmm
Easy to grow in dry hot areas . My family has grown it in hot dry Texas for generations. I suggest getting and keeping a stash for survival, doomer supplies . Get a good grain mill . Makes good bread and easy tortillas.
I know millet more in a flour form to make Fufu or pancake but didn't know how to cook it in grain form. Thanks to your video, now I know how. It is very healthy & versatile grain, especially good for women health, I believe. We should eat this more often:)
Eat it with warm daal, sauted vegetables with masala and a sour indian chutney on side. Its pure heaven.
I never heard of eating it raw.
Hello. Just stumbled upon your video. It looks like a foxtail millet, i maybe wrong. But you need to wash and soak every millets for max 6-8 hrs to remove phytic acid content, which usually blocks all the nutrients. I hope it helps.
I have respiratory reflux and hiatial hernia along with high calcium What can I eat that won't set off my respiratory reflux yet give me adequate nutrition and calories so I don't loose weight,thankyou
Very easy I like it
One thing please that you missed which is very imperative.
You are supposed to first soak the millet as it has a certain compound that hinders digestion. Then thoroughly rinse it as it has carcinogen which makes it difficult to digest. After its soaked and washed, then you add to the boiling water, and continue the rest of the process.
Thank you so much it looks delicous! I'm going to make this today!
