Frequently asked questions

What does kodo millet taste like?
Mild and gently earthy — less nutty than foxtail, so it takes on the flavour of whatever you cook it with. That makes it one of the easiest millets to serve to a skeptical family.

Why does kodo need a longer soak?
Its grain is slightly denser than other small millets. A 20–30 minute soak (or even longer) ensures it cooks through evenly and sits light on the stomach.
