About Millet

Millet is a small, gluten-free grain widely consumed in Asia, Africa, and parts of Europe, with roots dating back to ancient civilizations. Known for its mild, nutty flavor, millet is a versatile ingredient used in porridge, breads, salads, and even beverages. Nutritionally, millet is rich in essential minerals like magnesium, phosphorus, and manganese, as well as being a good source of plant-based protein and dietary fiber. It provides complex carbohydrates, making it ideal for sustained energy. Millet is low in fat and contains antioxidants that support heart health and reduce inflammation. It is suitable for those with gluten intolerance or seeking healthier grain alternatives. While millet is incredibly nutritious, moderation is recommended, as overconsumption may impact thyroid function due to naturally occurring substances called goitrogens. Overall, millet offers a wholesome, nutrient-packed option for balanced meals in a variety of cuisines.
