things people ask

• How much cooked millet does one cup of dry millet make?
  About 3.5 cups cooked from 1 cup (206 g) dry. Use a 1:2.5 grain-to-water ratio — so 206 g millet to roughly 515 ml water — bring to a boil, cover, and simmer about 25 minutes until the water is absorbed. Let it rest off-heat for 10 minutes before fluffing, otherwise the bottom layer stays gummy and the top stays firm.
• Should I rinse a cup of millet before cooking?
  Yes, briefly. Hulled millet carries a thin saponin film that can taste bitter or soapy if left on. Rinse 206 g in a fine-mesh sieve under cool water for 30 seconds, then drain well before dry-toasting. Skipping the rinse is fine if you're tossing the cup directly into a soup or a long-simmered stew where the volume of liquid dilutes any off-flavor.
• Can I swap a cup of millet for a cup of rice or quinoa in a recipe?
  Roughly, by volume. A cup of millet (206 g) cooks in about the same window as white rice — 25 minutes — and absorbs liquid at a similar 1:2.5 ratio. Quinoa needs less water (1:2). Texture differs: millet turns fluffy and slightly crumbly, closer to couscous than rice. For grain bowls or stuffed peppers the swap works; for sushi or risotto it doesn't.
