Should Millet Be Hulled?

Millet is available pearled or hulled: opt for hulled, which is the true whole-grain variety (“hulled” still retains plentiful fiber, as only the outermost layer is removed). Out of the hull, millet seeds look like tiny yellow beads with dark dots on the side where the plant's stem was attached.

Does millet need to be hulled?

Millet is available in pearled (unhulled) or hulled form. However, it is only prepared as food after being hulled since the grain has a naturally hard, indigestible covering that is removed before it can be considered ready for human consumption (much like Quinoa).

What is the difference between whole and hulled millet?

Hulled millet has this outer shell removed. it is more easily digestible this way but you do lose some of the nutrition and fiber. Whole grain has this outer shell intact.
