Millet, a nutritious ancient grain, finds its origins in various countries across Africa and Asia, including Nigeria, India, and China. Cultivated in diverse climates, millet is known for its resilience to drought and its ability to grow in poor soil conditions.
Harvesting millet involves cutting the stalks and threshing the grains, which are then processed and packaged for distribution. This versatile grain offers numerous health benefits, being gluten-free and rich in nutrients like fiber, protein, vitamins, and minerals. Studies suggest that millet consumption may contribute to improved digestion, heart health, and blood sugar control.
