Better Alt 3 LBS SUPER PACK Millet Grain, Superfood of the Year 2023, Gluten Free, Hulled Whole Grain, Foxtail Millet, High Protein, Alternative to Rice, VACUUM SEALED

A Must Have in My Pantry! This millet is a great alternative to rice. They arrived fresh in the packet. It is very similar to making rice and if you're bored of rice, this would work just fine. If cooked well, it is soft, chewy and goes well with a curry or in a patty for burgers. I must say it is super-filling and extremely nutritious. I would love to experiment with it more since it is versatile in nature. This is a great pantry staple for all people who follow the vegan and gluten-free diet. Will try the kodo millet from this brand once I finish using the foxtail millet. A big thumbs up!

I haven't personally cooked this before nor have I eaten it myself so I can't vouch for that, which I understand is probably the main reason people look at reviews. But I can say (hopefully this is helpful to bird owners) that this is well made product that comes vacuumed sealed for ultimate freshness and smells fresh upon opening. I don't like the quality of most bird food mixes so I make my own which is just a combination of some millet (uncooked), oat groats, chia seeds, flax seeds, hempseeds, and a little pinch of oregano because apparently that works as an antibiotic and is safe for Budgies. Of course depending on the type of parrot you have the ingredients would vary but I have repurchased this many times, kept in the fridge, and have always received a quality product. Highly recommend to parrot owners!

Tasted really good, made it like a pilafwith herbs and butter. Side note soaked for 2 days in fridge w no adverse texture once cooked.

I remember eating millet as a kid (my grandmother would cook it) instead of rice or potatoes, but this grain seems to have fallen out of fashion while the plant based community pushes brown rice, quinoa, amaranth etc. However, I still eat it often - especially good with dishes that are saucy, or have some sort of gravy. Well packaged and vacuum packed, the millets are fresh and cooked up nice and fluffy. Millets are extremely nutritious -- high in antioxidants, soluble fiber and protein.

I bought this foxtail millet expecting a fresh, quality product, but as soon as I opened the package, I noticed a strong moldy smell. It was completely off-putting and made it unusable. I’ve bought millet many times before and never had this issue. This batch clearly wasn’t stored or handled properly. I would not recommend this product and won’t be buying it again.

I've just recently learned about the great health properties of millet to include high fiber, high protein. It's also a grain that could grow in my area of the planet - so I was interested to start using/cooking with this. This company seemed like good quantity for the $, and I'm very happy with the product itself. I've used it in several recipes to include making crepes, soups, and I made peach/pecan/millet muffins (1/3 wheat flour, 1/3 millet flour, 1/3 millet). Millet is denser and ends up being a bit sweeter and heavier than wheat. Also, I needed to add a bit more egg in the crepes and muffins to hold it together better. In baked goods - it also gives an interesting and unique "crunch". For soups - use sparingly. I used some in a soup and the millet expanded so much that it became more like "gruel" and my children didn't want to eat it (I still did, it tasted good just unexpected texture). In general, I would easily buy more from this company and I intend on continuing working with this grain as a staple in my house.

Good stuff for a right food, 3 stars only because of the small dampness flavour and smell a little bit caused by keeping it on vacuum packet

People don't understand how vacuum packing works. When you put your coat in a bag and vacuum seal it it doesn't make your coat hard it comes back out soft. Same thing. they vacume pack it so it feals like a brick in the package then when you open it , its all loose again. I like this millet it cooks up very nice. I soak it for 4 hrs. then cook it 1 cup millet and 2 cups water with a sprinkle of salt. I take the lid off a few times during so it doesn't get to moist. Cooks slimar to rice but I don't take the lid off of rice at all.
