About Mexican millet

Mexican Millet, also known as pearl millet or "millet arroz," is a small, gluten-free grain native to Mexico and commonly enjoyed in Latin American and global cuisines. Versatile and hearty, it is packed with essential nutrients, including dietary fiber, magnesium, phosphorus, and B vitamins, which support heart health, digestion, and energy production. Its mild, nutty flavor pairs well with bold spices, making it a popular choice for pilafs, salads, soups, and side dishes. Mexican Millet is naturally low in fat, free from cholesterol, and an excellent option for those managing blood sugar levels due to its slow-digesting carbohydrates. However, like most grains, it should be consumed in moderation within a balanced diet to avoid excessive calorie intake. Ideal for vegans, vegetarians, and gluten-sensitive individuals, Mexican Millet offers a nutritious foundation for healthy and vibrant meals.
