Millet flakes
Millet flakes share millet's low-histamine profile — a simple, minimally processed flaked grain.
Millet flakes are made by steaming and rolling whole millet grains, similar to how rolled oats are made — a gentle process that doesn't introduce histamine.
-
Minimal processing — the flaking process doesn't involve fermentation, and millet itself has no known histamine-raising properties, so the flaked form stays in the low category
-
Check for blends — millet flakes sold as part of a mixed grain cereal or porridge blend may include other ingredients worth reviewing separately
Pure millet flakes on their own tend to be a straightforward, low-fuss grain option.
