Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Millet is naturally gluten-free, making it a versatile grain choice for people following a gluten-free diet. It can be used in place of other grains in a variety of recipes, including porridges, side dishes, grain bowls, and baked preparations. As with any packaged grain, individuals with severe allergies or celiac disease should check the product label for potential cross-contact information.

It can be combined with vegetables, herbs, spices, fruits, nuts, sauces, or other grains without overpowering the flavors of the dish.
