Known Benefits
Hulled Millet is considered a wholegrain and is rich in nutrients such as protein, B-Vitamins (B3,B6), and minerals such as magnesium, copper, phosphorus, and manganese. Millet is alkaline, gluten free, and easily digestible. Its high protein content is a good addition to a vegetarian diet. Millet is high in fibre and low simple sugars. As such, it has a lower glycemic index (GI) and has been shown to produce lower blood sugar levels compared to wheat or rice. Magnesium in millet can help reduce migraines and heart attacks. Studies have shown that the regular consumption of millet may be useful in preventing cardiovascular disease. Niacin (Vitamin B3) present in millet can help lower cholesterol.
Recommended Usage
- Can be served as a breakfast porridge with nuts and fruits
