Little Millet

Saamai/Little Millet, botanically associated with Panicum sumatrense, is offered as whole or dehulled little millet for health-food distribution, porridge and flour production. The grain commonly presents fine pale millet kernels when dehulled, while lot origin and processing influence particle size, flavour and cooking or milling behaviour.

A reference or illustrative moisture criterion for this commodity is Moisture ≤12% (illustrative trade target). An international quality schedule should specify hull removal, small-grain sorting and foreign seeds, plus moisture and permissible foreign matter. Where the food has a commodity-specific Codex standard, those published limits are shown in the technical field. Otherwise, the displayed figures are labelled illustrative export trade targets rather than universal regulatory thresholds. Dehusking, colour sorting or cleaning must be assessed according to the exact grain form.

For reliable bulk handling, consignments benefit from dry hygienic food-grade sacks, batch coding and sampling records. Receiving checks commonly cover live infestation, odour, stones, broken kernels and cargo moisture exposure. Trade documents should consistently use the listed commodity name and its processing description.
