Millet is even mentioned as a treasured crop in the Bible. This tiny “grain” is gluten-free and packed with vitamins and minerals. In fact, while it's often called a grain because of it' s grain-like consistency, millet is actually a seed. Millets are important crops in the semiarid tropics of Asia and Africa (especially in India, Mali, Nigeria, and Niger), with 97% of millet production in developing countries. The crop is favored due to its productivity and short growing season under dry, high-temperature conditions.
Product uses:
Millet is considered a “nutri-cereal” because it is high in fiber and protein and rich in B vitamins, (especially niacin, B6 and folic acid), phosphorus, manganese (a trace mineral that acts as an antioxidant), and may benefit people suffering with arthritis, inflammation, PMS and poor bone health. Re- discovered as a healthy seeded-grain, millet has been shown to help in controlling diabetes, lower levels of triglycerides, increase the favorable HDL levels, and reduce inflammation. Millet also contains calcium, iron, and zinc.
