Chances are you’ve heard of ancient grains. They’ve been cultivated and eaten for ages and are now becoming popular in today’s modern diet. Aside from great taste, there are many nutritional benefits to be gained from them! You can check out my post on 10 Ancient Grains You Should Be Eating for more information.
As a spin-off to my 10 ancient grains post, I’m doing a series of RD curated recipes featuring each ancient grain. I’ve already highlighted amaranth, barley, bulgur, farro, freekeh and Kamut®. In this post I am giving you all things millet!
Before rice was the staple grain in Asia, it’s thought that different forms of millet were the widely consumed grain in this region, dating back to 5000 B.C.E. Today, India is the world’s largest producer of millet, with eight African countries and China making up the rest of the top ten producers. Millet is gluten-free and high in antioxidants and magnesium, which makes it helpful in controlling diabetes and inflammation.
Millet grains are usually small and yellowish in color and have a light flavor. Like most other whole grains, millet can be eaten as a pilaf, breakfast cereal, or added to breads, soups or stews. It can also be popped like corn and eaten as a whole grain snack! For your convenience, I have found 10 delicious and healthy dietitian approved millet recipes. Check them out below!
