Foxtail Millet

What is Foxtail Millet?

Foxtail Millet is a traditional grain that has been part of Indian food habits for a long time. The grains are small, pale and cook into a light, fluffy texture. When prepared, foxtail millet feels gentle on the stomach and carries a mild taste that blends easily with vegetables, dals and spices.

Many families choose this millet when they want a simple alternative to rice that still feels satisfying.

Why Choose Foxtail Millet from Lush Living?

Our foxtail millet is sourced from farmers who grow millets using natural, rain-fed methods. The grains are cleaned thoroughly and packed without excessive polishing. This helps maintain their natural texture and cooking quality.

When cooked, the grains remain separate and soft, not sticky. People who regularly cook millets often notice that clean sourcing makes the final dish taste much better.

Health Benefits of Foxtail Millet

Foxtail millet is known for being rich in dietary fibre and plant-based nutrients. It helps keep meals light while still being filling. Many people include foxtail millet in their daily diet because it supports digestion and fits well into balanced eating habits.

It is often preferred by those who want to reduce refined grains and switch to traditional foods.

How to Use Foxtail Millet

Wash the grains well and cook them just like rice, using slightly less water. It works beautifully in pulao, upma, khichdi and lemon millet. You can also use it for curd-based dishes or mix it with vegetables for a simple lunch bowl.

Its mild flavour makes it suitable for both savoury and lightly spiced meals.

Foxtail Millet vs White Rice – Difference & Taste

White rice cooks soft but lacks fibre. Foxtail millet offers more texture and a gentle nutty note. Meals made with millet feel lighter and more satisfying, especially for everyday eating.

People who prefer traditional grains often replace rice with foxtail millet a few times a week.

Where Does Our Foxtail Millet Come From?

The millet is grown in regions where farmers follow seasonal cropping and natural drying methods. After harvesting, the grains are sun-dried, cleaned and sorted. Lush Living ensures that the millet reaches your kitchen in its most natural form.
