Benefits
Millet flour has a mildly sweet, nutty flavor with a hint of earthiness. Its taste is subtle and versatile, allowing it to complement both sweet and savory recipes.
Millet flour has a finer texture compared to some other gluten-free flours. It produces baked goods with a slightly gritty or crumbly texture, especially when used on its own. Blending it with other flours can improve its texture in baked goods.
Millet flour usually ranges from a pale yellow to a light beige color, depending on the variety and milling process.
Millet flour retains the nutritional benefits of whole millet grains, offering essential nutrients like magnesium, phosphorus, manganese, dietary fiber, and B-complex vitamins. Being gluten-free, it’s an excellent alternative for individuals with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease.
Millet flour has moderate moisture absorption properties, aiding in binding ingredients in recipes. It might require additional binding agents or eggs in baking due to its lack of gluten, which provides structure in traditional wheat flour-based recipes.
Millet flour has a subtle, pleasant aroma with nutty undertones, especially when used in baking. Its aroma becomes more pronounced when baked or cooked.
Its mild flavor allows millet flour to balance well with other ingredients in recipes. When used in baking, it can enhance the overall flavor profile without overpowering other flavors.
