The ancient seed returns! Millet is thought to have originated in North Africa, specifically Ethiopia, where it has been consumed since prehistoric times. Millet is still an extremely important food staple in many African countries.

Hulled Millet has had its inedible husk removed and is ready to cook as is. Extremely versatile, millet can be used as a base for both sweet and savoury foods. Try making it into a delicious porridge with milk and sugar, topping it with your favourite nuts or dried fruits. Millet makes a terrific side dish substitute for rice or couscous and is also excellent when chilled and tossed through salads, especially tabouli!
