Important Considerations for Millet:
The weight of 1 US cup of uncooked millet is typically around **190-200 grams** (approximately 6.7-7 ounces).
Millet generally expands to about **3 to 3.5 times its original volume** when cooked. The common cooking ratio is 1 part millet to 2-2.5 parts liquid.
Rinsing millet before cooking is recommended. Toasting it lightly in a dry pan before adding liquid can enhance its nutty flavor.
Millet can be cooked to be fluffy like rice or creamy like porridge depending on the amount of liquid and cooking method.
For consistent results in recipes or for meal planning, measuring by weight can be more accurate.
