Notes
One of my favorite ways to use millet is as a substitute for rice in grain bowls. You can also add a tablespoon or 2 to your favorite salad recipe. I love adding it to a strawberry spinach salad as it adds interest.
It can also be added to soups and casseroles as well.
Anywhere you commonly use rice or quinoa, you can use millet instead. It makes a very great side dish.
You can also make millet porridge with breakfast also. You can also use millet flour in baked goods, like this Millet cake from Yummy Tummy.
Millet flakes are also an option, like these millet flake granola bars.
