I thought this was such a great deal until I received the package--4 partially broken bags with the flour spilling everywhere. When I cooked with it, it tasted bitter like poison, which is a sign of rancidity for millet flour. I looked at the expiration date and it was within a month. So I had to throw all the bags away.

Of the 4 packages that I received in my April order 2 were expired in January. The other 2 expired the following month. I have gotten Spelt flour from Arrowhead mills before and it was great...totally fine. But I think with something like millet flour, that maybe not as many people use, they must just package up what they have left on the shelf. Now I know that even though it is a little more expensive at my local health food store, it is worth it because it isn't old and expired! YUCK!

I've ordered this millet flour in bulk twice, and I'm about to order it a third time. None of it was expired. It was fine. I use it A LOT and have never had a problem.

This is nice flour, maybe a little coursely ground but tastes very good in gluten free baked goods. The bags were not short-dated or torn but they were very beat up (maybe by the shipping - they were packed loose in a HUGE box with a few air pillows so they rattled around in the box). The product tastes as fresh as any I have purchased at my local stores. The price is good. This keeps very well when stored in the freezer in a ziploc bag.

I just got my first "subscription" order for this item. I set it up for every 6 months. The items that came only had a 5-month expiration period from my order date. I simply contacted Amazon.com to let them know I would expect to have at least a 6-month period based on my use needs and, just like that, they are trying to resolve the issue with a replacement, at no charge, and say they will refund it all if the freshness issue remains. With the amazing cost savings with this product from them and no s/h fees with a subscription refill and the fact that they are standing behind the quality of it with no back and forth "arguing" or excuse making, I have to give a 5 star rating. This kind of service is so hard to find anymore. I recommend using them to get this, especially if, like me, there are no stores willing to stock it or, if they do, they charge 3-5x the price noted here.

When I received this flour it was almost at its expiration date. It already had a rancid smell. I have bought millet flour elsewhere to ensure I received fresh flour. For the price you pay for the flour, you would think the manufacturer would not sell old flour at full price. I hope amazon does a little more to ensure the company is not selling old grocery items to its customers.

I have started keeping a jar of mixed alternative flours on hand. I have wheat, corn, soy and bean allergies, and so I cant use many of the premixed flours out there. I have added the millet to my mix and it has a nice smell , taste and texture.

I use this flour in all my breads as a base and add other more expensive flours to change flavors as I want. It works wonderful and is highly nutritious with a mild flavor that blends very well with other flours. Since it is somewhat difficult to find, I love buying it in bulk!

The millet flour was rancid, I wonder how long it had been sitting on teh shelf beofre they shipped it. I would not recommend buying this product from Amazon.

My ordering the flour was quite easy. When I found out I could subscribe to it and get future orders without going through the process again I was quite satisfied. The Millet flour arrived in a couple days and I have used it. It is really great for making gluten free bread. The best I have had yet.
I set up my mixer, got out the recipe and in less than two hours had homemade hamburger buns and hot dog buns which have lasted me a week and are still fresh. I took them on a weeks vacation and since we ate out so many times I still had some left. They are still fresh like homemade bread. No mold at all like the other flours that taste gritty and get moldy in two days. I never would have thought to buy from Amazon.com. I had went to another web site and was linked to Amazon. Great Job.
