#81 - Millet: How to Use this Sustainable, Gluten & Lectin-Free Grain

Ancestral Kitchen

Do you cook with millet? I do and I love this ancient grain for the fact that it is super sustainable, very economical and, being gluten and lectin free, really easy to digest.

In this episode we dive in to the ancestral grain millet. We will talk about what it is, why you'd want to include it in your diet, how to cook it and I then I will go on to share in detail my seven favourite ways to use millet - we regularly consume millet all of these ways in our home.

By the end of this episode you will be armed with everything you need to know to start cooking, eating and loving this wonderful grain in your own kitchen.
