Millets are whole grains that have been around for thousands of years and are found in many diets around the world. Millets are the principal staple grains in India and are usually eaten in China, South America, Russia, and the Himalayas.

As gluten-free whole grains, millets are an exceptional grain option for those in need of options. They are very easy to prepare and more available across the globe.

Millets are amazingly versatile – they can be used in everything from bread to porridges, side dishes, and desserts. Their delicate flavor is intensified by toasting the dry grains before cooking. In some places, they’re even fermented and drunk as an alcoholic beverage.

Millets can be seen in white, gray, yellow, or red colors. They look wonderful when arranged on a plate. Millets are also grown as high-fiber feed for cattle, livestock, and birds.

The Commonly Found Types Of Millets
Millets are a group of grains that include pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum), foxtail millet (Setaria italica), proso millet (Panicum miliaceum), finger millet or ragi (Eleusine coracana), barnyard millet (Echinochloa crus-galli), little millet (Panicum sumatrense), kodo millet (Paspalum scrobiculatum), fonio millet (Digitaria exilis), and adlay millet or Job’s tears (Coix lachryma-jobi).


Millets are a gluten-free and drought-tolerant source of long-lasting energy. The bran and fiber in these whole grains slow down the breakdown of starch into glucose. Thus, they maintain a steady blood sugar rather than causing sharp spikes. In other words, millets are ideal for those with diabetes and cardiovascular diseases.

These grains have high levels of fiber that help lower cholesterol and move waste through the digestive tract (bulking agent). It’s high time you chose millets over white rice – because they are three to five times nutritionally superior to the latter.

As they are versatile to cook and tasty, you don’t have to bore yourself with millet porridge. Whip up our quick and simple recipes and enjoy with your family. Yes, the kids will love them too!
