Product Description: Millet (Panicum Miliaceum) is a small, yellow grain with a mild, sweet, corn-like flavor. Millet is native to Africa and Asia and there is evidence of cultivation since the 5th century BC. Millet is a seed of an annual grass and is a common ingredient in bird seed. Recently, with the growing interest in healthy eating, Millet has become better known as a tasty alternative to rices, primarily brown. You can cook it with varying amounts of liquid, depending on the texture you desire. Millet is best if toasted before adding cooking liquid.
