Millet
Millet weighs 200g per cup and is a small, round, gluten-free grain with a mild, slightly sweet flavor. Toast it in a dry pan for 2-3 minutes before cooking for a nuttier taste. Cook at a 1:2.5 ratio of millet to water for about 20 minutes. Cooked millet can be fluffy like rice or creamy like polenta depending on how much you stir. Store dry millet in a sealed container for up to two years.

03 // WHY IT MATTERS
If your cookies spread, your bread is gummy, or your cake sinks — flour weight is usually why.
A scooped cup of flour can weigh anywhere from 125g to 180g. That's a 44% range — enough to wreck a cake.
Modern recipes use the spoon-and-level method: fluff the flour, spoon it into a dry measuring cup without packing, then sweep flat with a knife.
The scoop method — pushing the cup directly into the bag — packs in 40-50% more flour.
