About Millet flour

Millet flour is the finely milled product of millet seeds, usually pale yellow or cream but variable with the grain used and its degree of milling. It is used in porridges, batters, flatbreads, loaves, biscuits, pancakes, and other baked goods.

It has a soft, powdery texture and a mild cereal flavour that can become more pronounced or nutty when the millet is toasted before grinding. Its behaviour in doughs and batters depends on the grain fraction, milling, hydration, and whether other flours are present.

Millet flour may be milled from whole or dehulled grain and can be sold alone or blended with other flours. Toasting, milling fineness, sifting, and blending alter its colour, aroma, texture, and handling in the finished preparation.

Reference values for the specific food form shown. Other varieties, brands and preparations can differ.

Portions & preparation

Use the flour form specified by the recipe, since milling removes the distinction between loose grain and prepared food. Compare plain millet flour with toasted, blended, or fortified products, and account for the edible baked portion separately when it is used in bread, batter, or pastry with added fats and sweeteners.

Compare the right form: Match references to plain, dry millet flour made from the stated millet species, not cooked millet, composite baking flour, or a finished baked product.

Diet considerations

Millet flour is plant-derived and comes from a cereal grain. Compatibility changes when blended with wheat or other cereals, dairy, eggs, or animal fats, and when used in coated or sweetened baked foods. The finished recipe may have a different carbohydrate pattern from the flour alone, so ingredient review is essential.
