Freshly Ground Soaked | Activated Foxtail Millet Flour | GLUTEN FREE FLOUR

The Millet Store offers a unique product - soaked and activated foxtail millet flour. This flour undergoes a special process before reaching your kitchen, resulting in several potential benefits compared to regular millet flour.

What is Soaked and Activated Foxtail Millet Flour?

The process involves soaking whole, unpolished foxtail millet grains in water for an extended period, typically overnight. This initiates germination, a natural process that unlocks certain nutrients within the grain. Following soaking, the sprouted millets are then sun-dried and ground into a fine flour.

Benefits of Soaked and Activated Foxtail Millet Flour:

• Enhanced Nutrient Availability: Soaking breaks down phytic acid, a naturally occurring compound in grains that can hinder the absorption of minerals like iron, zinc, and calcium. This allows your body to absorb more of these essential nutrients from the flour.
• Easier Digestion: Soaking helps to pre-digest some of the starches in the millet, potentially making it easier for your body to break down and utilize the carbohydrates.
• Potentially Milder Flavor: Some people find that soaked and activated flours have a slightly sweeter and more delicate flavor compared to regular flours.

Soaked vs. Regular Millet Flour:

The key difference lies in the processing method.

• Regular Millet Flour: Millet grains are simply ground into flour without any pre-treatment like soaking or sprouting.
• Soaked and Activated Millet Flour: The millet undergoes a soaking and sprouting process before grinding, potentially enhancing nutrient availability and digestibility.

The Millet Store's Commitment:

The Millet Store highlights that they wash, soak overnight, and then sun-dry the millets before grinding them into flour on order. This ensures freshness and maximizes the potential benefits of the soaking process.
