About Foxtail millet

Foxtail millet is a small-seeded cereal grain. The grains are typically golden to yellowish and cook to a tender, slightly chewy texture with a mild, subtly nutty flavour. It is used as a cooked grain in place of other cereal grains and can also be milled into flour.

It is sold as whole, hulled grain and as flour; cooking time and texture depend on processing and the amount of water used. The name identifies a millet species, not a generic mixture of small grains, and flour should not be treated as nutritionally identical to the whole grain.
