Millet, though tiny, is a powerhouse. Slightly sweet and a bit nutty, it’s loaded with nutrients. Millet is high in protein, fiber and antioxidants as well as vitamin B, calcium, iron, potassium and zinc. Plus, it’s gluten-free.
Long a pantry staple throughout Africa, China and India, millet is one of our oldest cereal crops; it’s been cultivated for more than 7,000 years. Though we think of it as a grain, millet, like buckwheat, is defined as a grass ― hearty, drought-resistant and extremely versatile. It can be milled into flour or cooked like rice and polenta. I often toss a handful of millet into the batter for cookies, muffins and breads and into granola for added crunch.
