Millet is rich in protein, providing more amino acids than most other cereals. It is also high in fibre and antioxidants. It provides plenty of essential minerals including phosphorus, magnesium and calcium.
Millet is used in a variety of dishes, and can be popped to produce tiny millet puffs that are fun to eat. Millet’s numerous health benefits include helping to lower blood sugar and cholesterol levels. Being gluten free, it is an excellent choice for those with coeliac disease or choosing to avoid gluten. Its nutty taste and versatility make it well worth trying.
