ABOUT OATS
ABOUT MILLET
Oats have significant quantities of fiber, protein and trace
minerals. Unlike many other grains, the oat germ, which
contains oil, is not removed during processing. Due to
this, oats have a higher fat content than most other
grains.
Rolled Oats
Rolled oats, also called old-fashioned oats, are made by
slicing raw oats before steaming and “rolling” them into
flakes.
Steel-Cut Oats
Steel-cut, or Irish or Scotch oats, are whole-grain oats
that have been coarsely sliced with sharp steel blades,
which leads to a chewy texture.
Quick-Cooking Oats
Quick-cooking oats are processed the same way as
rolled oats, but they are rolled into very thin slices over a
hot surface, which precooks them slightly.
Oat Flour
Oat flour is made from finely ground oat groats. It has no
gluten, so it must be used in conjunction with wheat
flour. Oat flour adds a creamy, soft and moist texture.
Millet is gluten-free, which makes it a great grain for
people who are allergic to wheat. Millet is also rich
in fiber and protein. It cooks in about the same
amount of time as rice and can be substituted for it
in many rice recipes. Try it in soups, salads and
main courses. Here are the most popular forms of
millet.
Hulled Millet Seeds
Hulled millet seeds are whole-grain millet from
which the indigestible outer hull has been removed.
Millet Flour
Millet flour is made from ground millet seeds. It has
a slightly sweet flavor.
Puffed Millet
Puffed millet is a popular breakfast cereal and can
be used as a crunchy topping for baked goods. It is
similar to puffed rice and puffed wheat. Look for it in
boxes in the cereal aisle of the supermarket or in
bulk bins.
