So, what is hirssi?

Hirssi, also known as "pearl millet," is a nutrient-rich food ingredient that has been cultivated for thousands of years in Africa and Asia. This gluten-free grain is an excellent source of iron, fiber, and B-vitamins, making it a great choice for vegetarians and vegans. Its nutty flavor and slightly chewy texture make it a versatile ingredient in both sweet and savory dishes. From porridges to baked goods and even as a base for gluten-free beer, hirssi offers a unique taste and nutritional profile that sets it apart from other grains.
