In spite of its excellent Flavour and texture, Millet is best known in many countries as bird food which is maybe why it hasn't been widely adopted in cooking circles. It's much more popular in the culinary traditions of Africa, India and China. The grain, when cooked, is light, fluffy and flavoursome, making it a delicious alternative to rice. Millet flakes make a good gluten free porridge. Millet flour is also available and is an excellent ingredient for gluten free baking.
Millet is known to be very easily digested and is gluten free. It is rich in protein and is also a good source of iron, potassium and magnesium.
Millet is also high in silicon, meaning that it is beneficial to the eyes, skin, hair and nails.
