Foxtail millet flour is ground from one of the smallest millet varieties — a gluten-free, drought-resistant grain cultivated for millennia in Asia and Africa. It provides useful iron, magnesium, B vitamins, and a moderate protein content. It is increasingly valued for its low glycaemic index and crop resilience.
Combine with other gluten-free flours for best baking results; 100% millet flour products tend to crumble. It can replace up to 30% of wheat flour in recipes for added nutrition.

* % Daily Value is the proportion of an adult
EU Nutrient Reference Value (NRV) supplied by 100g of this food.
NRVs are the labelling standard — the same basis as the “%RI” figures printed on
food packaging — so these percentages are directly comparable with a shop label.
They are a single adult figure and do not vary by age or sex, which is why they
sometimes differ from UK dietary reference values: the NRV for vitamin C is 80mg
where the UK RNI is 40mg. When Nutriofia assesses your own intake in the
reports and trackers, it uses the age- and sex-specific UK values instead.
Fibre is shown without a percentage. Our fibre values use the UK
Englyst NSP method, while the published 30g daily goal is an AOAC figure — the two
are measured differently and a single percentage would mislead.
