This is a review for Danodia pearl millet, currently priced at £18.99 for a 1kg bag. The millet comes in a paper/plastic packet, then in a plastic envelope. The cooking instructions on the packaging are fairly limited, just outlining how to cook it in a traditional pressure cooker or mill it into flour. This presumably reflects the usual South East Asian market of the product. I cooked it with roughly 2.5 times its volume of water and a bit of salt in a multi-cooker with a pressure cooker function for 10 minutes on high. I then let the pressure release naturally. This resulted in nice cooked separate grains with a bit of a bite. However, I will probably add on a couple of extra minutes next time I make this. The grains are delicious (much tastier than I expected) and very versatile. They could be used in place of any other small grain (e.g. rice) or starch (e.g. couscous). They would work well for hot or cold dishes (though couldn't be stored in the fridge for very long due to their large surface area). So, will I buy this product myself once I've used up the bag? Unfortunately, the answer is no. I've compared the price of this millet with other brands I've bought before and this one costs around three times as much per kilo. Even though it is tastier than those other brands, I don't think it is by enough to justify the price difference. We also grow quite a lot of millet in Europe, so it's hard to accept the additional air miles of flying in millet from India.

This was not what I expected, I wouldnt mind if i can return it please

This organic millet is delicious. It is indeed organic. I love it.

I recommend soaking the grains overnight before cooking. Otherwise very healthy

Good quality product as expected.

Though millet is a great replacement for rice it seems to have fallen out of favor. I eat it because my grandmom made it a lot - but most people I run into haven't had it before. Always soak your millet about 30 minutes then drain in a fine mesh sieve before cooking. Use it as a great side dish, or cook with more water and longer to make a hot porridge for breakfast - adding your cream and fruit. Millet has great health benefits like high fiber, protein, magnesium, calcium, iron and antioxidants. First time using this brand, but it cooked up light and fluffy and with a mild taste.

*Finger Millet Seeds: A tiny powerhouse for big flavor* These tiny finger millet seeds might not look like much, but they pack a serious nutritional punch! They have a slightly earthy flavor that adds depth to curries, salads, and even breakfast bowls. I love to toast them before using for an extra nutty crunch. While grinding your own flour is an option, these seeds are perfect for adding whole grain goodness to any dish.

I loved the taste of Danodia's ragi millet. I was not expecting that enough but this is really worth it. Quality of millet is amazing. Packaging also very good.

Excellent quality. Excellent taste.
