Millet is one of the oldest foods known to humans and possibly the first cereal grain to be used for domestic purposes. Creamy like mashed potatoes or fluffy like rice, millet is a delicious grain that can accompany many types of food...
Millet porridge has a delicious nutty texture, is high in protein and is gluten-free. Additionally, millet has a low glycemic index, meaning it is slowly absorbed by the body, resulting in a slower release of glucose into the bloodstream.
