They are easy to prepare and have a lovely and light texture when cooked and is easy to cook. It is versatile in dishes ranging from breakfast to dinner.

Stir it more frequently when cooking. If you want to  fry it for more flavour then you can make it like polent, croquettes or savoury squares. If you are tired of oat meal or wheat porridge, then try millet porridge as a substitute. You can also toss raw millet into cookies, muffins or quick breads for extra crunch. You can also use it in granola or use it to thicken soups or as a base for warm grain salads. You can also buy millet grits which are extremely quick-cooking and are wonderful in any preparation.
